RP: Dakota Circle

Dakota Circle is a great book about the Great Plains and its people. The book really focuses more on North Dakota. I really enjoyed reading all the stories this book had in it. Many of these stories made me think of times in my life growing up in North Dakota. One good example would be the chapter on the harsh winters. This chapter reminded me of when I used to work at a car rental company. I always enjoyed people from the south that would rent a car and notice the plug in coming out the front of the car. It seemed like everyone of them would come and ask me if the car was an electric car because of the plug in. I just laughed to myself and politely told them it was for the winter to keep the engine warm so it would start. I also liked how well the book related to the class. It seemed like almost every chapter had part of a lecture in it. I really felt like this book did a great job of describing life in North Dakota and I think it would be a good book for people to read if they wanted to learn about North Dakota and its people.
