Summary: Hatchet
Review: The book Hatchet was a very good book, at least I thought it was. I really enloyed it. I think that he was very smart to stay in one place, and not to roam around and get even more lost. Thirteen year old Brian was lucky to have a hatchet, because without it he would have not been able to make fire or a shelter. I really loved this book.

Summary: One of my favorite books as a kid
Review: I recommend The Hatchet to any family, kids and adults. Paulsen balances outdoor survival truths with exciting thrills. (He doesn't wrestle a bear or anything ridiculous) It's an accurate yet entertaining story of survial. Never boggled down with unnecessary diversions, or dumbed down to a younger audience, it remains one of those prized pieces of literature for older children.

Summary: A reader from Boulder, Colorado
Review: I first read this book in middle school and still read it once a year in college. It reminds me that life is not all about material goods and that trials such as the ones Brian went through can deeply affect a person. I would recommend all of the Brian books: Hatchet, Brian's Winter, the River and Brian's return.

Summary: Amazing Survival
Review: Hatchet was an amazing story of the survival of a 13 year old boy named Brian Robeson in the Canadian wilderness. I really enjoyed this book and it held my interest with extraordinary descriptions and intense suspense. Hatchet contained adventure, but it also had deeper meanings not usually found in adventure stories. Although this book was not hard to read, and it was not very long, the descriptive details of the wilderness and the survival tactics kept me turning the pages.
My favorite part of the story were the conflicts. The main conflict in the story was a boy trying to stay alive in the wilderness alone with no food. There also was a strong internal conflict that surfaced about "the secret". "The secret" was that Brian found out about his mother's affair. In trying to survive, smaller external conflicts occurred, such as animal attacks, tornados, and starvation. All of the conflicts combined made an exciting story. Another thing that I liked about the story was the theme. The theme of Hatchet was that Brian learned from his mistakes, and moved on. This was extremely important to the story because every mistake was very crucial. For example, when Brian's shelter was not closed securely, a porcupine was able to get in to the shelter and stick Brian with its quills. This injury caused Brian great pain and limited his ability to get survival supplies. He learned from his mistake and made his shelter more secure so animals could not enter as easily. Because Brian learned from his mistakes the story was more realistic.I disliked the mood of the story because some parts were sad. For example, the mood was sad when Brian thought his situation was hopeless. Actually, the sad mood was the only thing that I did not like about the story. I think that someone who likes adventure and challenge would like this story. A person who dislikes the outdoors probably would not like Hatchet. I enjoyed reading this book and I would read it again. I do not think that this book would make a good movie, because there was not much dialogue in the book, and I really do not think a movie without dialogue would be very good. A good lesson I learned from this book is that being positive will always help make a negative or difficult situation better. Reading this story really gave me a new appreciation for the necessities that I take for granted.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: The novel Hatchet is about a thirteen-year-old boy who lived in New York City. His parents are divorced, and Brian is heading to Canada to spend the summer with his father, After Brian's parents divorced, Brian's head becomes filled with wonders. Brain is now going to see his father in the Canadian Wilderness. Brian has to fly from New York City to Canada in a small Cessna 406 Bush plane, with only the pilot and himself. With the pilot having a massive heart attack, Brian has to learn to fly and somehow land the plane in the wilderness. With only the clothes on this on his back and the hatchet his mother gave him, he has to leave the past behind and try to stay alive. The lesson this book thought was to never give up and to be persistence in the face of fear.
