Summary: My Hatchet report
Review: I want to tell you about Hatchet, my favorite book by Gary Paulsen, and why I like it. The first thing I like about it is its realism. A man having a heart attack complains about himself having chest pains. Also, whenever the main character, Brian, is fishing, he tells the secret about fishing with a spear; aim higher than it looks. The next thing I like about Hatchet is the detail. It explains how Brian feels every step of the way in the forest. The last thing I like about Hatchet is the plot. A thirteen-year-old boy stranded in a Canadian forest by a lake in the shape of an L. He has to fight to survive while he looses hope in rescue each day. He has to eat, drink, make a fire, build a shelter, and more. So, these are the reasons I like Hatchet. If you haven't read it, then go pick it up. If you have, then read it again.

Summary: Bad story line, great writing!
Review: This book did not impress me as much as i thought it would. The story line is hard to believe, but the way Paulson writes in this book is amazing! Brian R, age 13, gets trapped in the woods after his plane crashes. Now, it just so figures that his mother gives him a hatchet, which he uses to survive. When the plane crashes, it slams into the water, which would of instantly killed Brian. But he ends up surviving in the woods for about 50 days and is finally found, even though he is in the middle of the wilderness. The events that happened were exciting, but the story line was not impressing. 3 out of 5 stars.

Summary: Surviving with only a Hatchet
Review: Hatchet is an outstanding book centered around a young boy at the age of 13 named Brian Robeson. His mom had given a gift to Brian on his way to the airport that saves his life. It was a hatchet. He was stranded in the forests of Canada after he had made a crash landing when the pilot died of a heart attack and fell shaking to the floor. He knew he had crashed way off course and he realized that all hope was lost for survival as soon as he watched the plane sink to the lake bottom. He was faced with one of the biggest fears of all, hunger. He also was all bruised up after he had flown through the window of the cockpit. He was forced to drink nothing but the surrounding lake water. Brian encounters many animals on his journey of survival including an enormous black bear. With only a hatchet, he builds a sturdy shelter and weapons to defend himself such as a bow and arrow and spears. He even made traps for food such as fish. He made fire that protected him at night from animals, allowed him to cook meat and fish, and kept him warm. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who enjoys reading or needs a book for school. I could picture everything in my head from the crash to his rescue. The book is so realistic, I never put it down. Gary Paulson kept the excitement going through out the novel with many surprises. And Brian was such a well-described character. He was smart, brave, and realistic. He wasn't strong so he used his brain to overcome many obstacles. The part that I had enjoyed the most was when Brian encountered a moose that hit him three times before leaving.

Summary: Hatchet Review
Review: I read the book Hatchet because my friends told me that it was a really good book. The main character in the story is Brian Robeson. ...The conflicts in this book is man vs. himself because he had to overcome his fears and not give up. The other is man vs. nature because he had to survive nature. I thought that this was a truly amazing book that is adventurous, action packed, and very hard to put down. I recommend this book to everyone that likes very exciting and adventurous books.
