Review Quotes:
"Yukon Quest is an engaging read, one that will appeal to hardcore mushing fans as well as those with only passing interest in the sport. And with any luck, it will make more people realize that Quest mushers deserve at least as much respect as those who have run the Iditarod. And perhaps even more."
