As I read Doe Season, I kept thinking about my dad. My dad is a big hunter and this story made me think of him and his adventures. I liked it how a girl was the main character of the story. In that way I could compare myself to her, except for the whole hunting thing. I liked it how the story revolved around a girl and her finding herself. Many girls could read this story and relate to Andy and her experiences of trying to fit in with the boys. I remember always trying to fit in with my dad. Now I've learned that he just wants me to be me.

I liked Kaplan's writing and how he used description. It kind of reminded me of North Dakota in the winter time when he was describing the snowfall and woods. He knew just the right words to get the point across. I almost felt like I was there hunting with Andy, worrying with her and feeling the cold.

Overall I liked this story. It was easy enough to understand and on many levels I could relate to Andy and her dad. Also, I liked how Kaplan used descriptive words when writing. It was easy to see what he was trying to portray. In conclusion, I would definitely read this again and recommend others to do the same.
