Well, considering I only read it once; don't remember much if anything about it; and never had any inclination to re-read it, it must have been "so-so."

Thus, 2 from me.

3. It has Siberian Huskies, and he wrote his daughter in as a cool character (very sweet).

It has Siberian Huskies they, and the story about the horse, were the reason why bears didn't give it a 1.

I gave it a 3. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it, I wouldn't read it again.

Oh yes, the horse story. How could I forget that part? I feel even better about my number, then. This one just wasn't my cup of tea.
