A Great Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I normally don't like when books are assigned in school, but this one turned out to be a great story. Lots of adventure, exitement, and good description. I'd recommend it to everyone.
A Must Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Wintering is a must read book for anyone who loves tales of wilderness adventure and growing up. Though I would recommend reading The Broken Blade first, this story works perfectly well as a stand-alone tale, too. The setting and the characters--especially the evil Beloit, who grows remarkably in depth from Durbin's first book--are depicted with vivid realism. Adults will enjoy this story as much as younger readers will.
A sequel that surpasses the orginal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A continuation of the story of a young voyaguer begun in THE BROKEN BLADE, this book is even better than the orginal. Filled with irony, surprise, and emotional truth, it shows what it takes to become a winterer or hivernant with the North West Fur Company at the turn of the 19th century.
This book fits well in my bookish hands.

I am a student from Minnesota, and I would like to recommend this book. I think the story was very well written with an engaging character base. The best part though, was the likeability of the main character Pierre. I think that this book would offer everyone a satisfying and entertaining read....be prepared for a moving ending!!

I read the Broken Blade,in school and I loved it. So i read this on my own. I normaly hate reading, but the Broken Blade was so good that I had to buy it. Good thing too, It is even better than the first. I really liked the part where the bear went crazy. I think that this book would be great for anyone who likes adventure and humor... thanks
