Summary: I loved the book; it was suspensful.
Comment: A fictional, action-packed, suspenseful story! Big Red was excellent. I loved it. Over this summer I have found a new favorite book: Big Red. The characters' personalities were so lifelike. Danny, who fell in love with Red, the first time he saw him, worked as hard as he could to make Red happy. Red was a beautiful Irish setter. Danny worked for Red's owner, Mr. Haggin. Mr. Haggin owned a giant Wintapi estate. He let Danny take care of Red. Danny did every thing he could for Red and Red was very grateful. He took to Danny like a snail to a rock. Red was Danny's best friend and nobody could change that. All this took place in the Wintapi wilderness. Somewhere near the end of the book another dog comes. Her name was Sheila Macguire. Danny knew that she would bear a big litter and that all the pups would be champions. He wanted Red to breed with her. Red did not like Sheila because Red thought Danny was giving her more attention. But finally Red came around and this situation ended with Red being a father to two sons and three daughters. My favorite character was Red because I love dogs and even though Red was not a person I liked his personality (or dogality). One of my favorite scenes was when Red cornered Old Majesty, a bear, in the beginning of the book. The thing that stood out for me was the special bond that Danny had with Red. They always understood each other. I would recommend this book to most of my friends because as far as I know they all love dogs and adventures. On a scale of one to ten I would rate this book a nine. I rated it this way because this book seemed so real and yet it was not. It was just awesome. I really and truly loved this book and I will leave it at that.

Summary: Big Red Book Review
Comment: The book Big Red is filled with excitement and an unbreakable love between a dog and a boy named Danny. Danny is a fur trapper who lives on Indian owned land called the Wintapi.
Danny quickly falls in love with his next door neighbor Mr. Haggins' dog named Red, an Irish setter. Red and Danny become great friends and go to a dog show together. But unfortunately they lose the dog show because they didn't practice enough. Red and Danny both benefited from the quality time they spend together.
Mr. Haggin and Danny discuss that they have another problem that they must focus on more than the dog show. A Grizzly bear named Old Majesty, who has been feared for many generations, has been eating Mr. Haggins' bulls and sheep. Danny and Mr. Haggin have to find a way to kill or get rid of Old Majesty with help from Red.
Danny then figures out that Red is the only weapon that they have to put Old Majesty at bay so they can get a clean shot at him. Red is trained to be an attack dog and they teach him to obey Danny and his other trainer Mr. Haggin. Danny trains Red to be the most fearsome Irish setter on the whole Wintapi land by teaching him to hunt rabbits and moles in the yard.
Danny is a risk-taker because he went out with Red and even though he was scared; he stuck to his plan to kill Old Majesty and didn't travel aside it. He had one goal and that was to get rid of the bear that was causing the land so much turmoil.
Overall, this is a book of great courage and great love shown by Danny and Red. The moral of this book is to not be scared of what you have never been through, but to think things through, set your goals and pursue them. Even though Danny was scared he had the courage to pursue his goal. This book shows what it is like to be a risk-taker and I hope that everyone can take risks but only after thinking them out.
