![]() Mad Dogs and an Englishwoman: Travels with Sled Dogs in Canada's Frozen North $14.00 Polly Evans ventured to Canada, and some parts of Alaska, prepared to learn about dog sledding. Not only does she learn about dog sledding, but she even helps in the legendary Yukon Quest. The cold, the dogs, the snow, all things she had to learn to deal with, one day at a time. Not really very interesting. She seems as helpless as ever, which is kind of sad. For example, in Fairbanks she can't even find a piece of fruit and a bag of tea. Yet she was at the Westmark Hotel in Fairbanks. The Westmark Hotel has one of those tourist shops. They have bananas! And I am sure they have a pile of tea of all kinds. I know, I was there in MAY! Saying Fairbanks did not have a grocery store is like saying that the ocean does not have sharks because none of them attacked you the last time you took a dip. But besides insulting the State of Alaska, and talking a lot about dog poop and complaining about how cold she was, the book is a tad boring. True, she does add a lot of the history but that could have been found in any history books of the cold, icy north. In the end, it feels like she was tired and didn't really wish to write this book. Just not as interesting as her book on China. Maybe being a useless tourist is only funny the first time? I hope her book on Spain is better. Oh, and I have no problem with her getting mad at the people who run the borders - I have problems with them too. ![]() Jack Of All Games Mad Dog Mccree $22.19 Wow, this collection brings me back. It works just as it did when I first played Mad Dog Mcree over a decade ago. It also has the same problems. Sometimes the quickdraw sequences don't respond quickly and the acting of the characters is like a B movie. All in all it's a decent live-action shooter. ![]() Mad Dog Time (aka Trigger Happy) $14.98 This is a movie that should have never been made. A complete failure, e.g., acting, directing, the script (sucks BIG time). The popular artists (great actors) in this movie should be slapped in the face for participating in such an awful movie. I would like to know the politics behind this movie, i.e., why was this crap ever approved by the studio? ![]() Mad Dog (Starlight Animal Rescue) $5.99 Bought this book for my 11 year old animal loving daughter. She loves this new series by Dandi Daley Mackall as much as the "Winnie the Horse Gentler Series". |
