Summary: A Great Book!
Review: This is an awesome book! I love how it is about just an average boy who all of a sudden gets stranded in the Canadian wilderness. He has to figure out how to survive on his own with no pre-made resources. It leaves him with such a sense for everything around him. He realizes how much he took for granted every day and how lucky he really was. You can connect with him and realize yourself how much you take for granted. It's really adventurous and at the end of the chapter you don't want to put it down. Gary Paulsen keeps you on the edge wondering what will happen next in this book.

Review: Hatchet

Date:9-20-02

The book I read was Hatchet by Gary Paulson. This book is about a boy named Brian who is on a plane from Hampton, New York. He is on his way to see his dad that lives in the north woods of Canada. On the way the pilot of Brian's plane has a heart attack. When Brian lands in the middle of a lake he is not sure if he is going to make it to the shore. As he keeps on swimming he is determined that he is not going to survive. Brian knows that he has to make a shelter and find food to survive in the woods alone. Brian also has to be aware of the animals like bears foxes and raccoons. As he walks through the trees looking for a shelter, he holds his hatchet by his side. The reason Gary Paulson wrote this book was to show people how hard it is to be stranded in the woods in Canada. This book also has many survival tips too. For example, you should know how to get a fire started without using matches. All of these would help you if you were stranded in the north woods of Canada for 54 days like Brian was.

There were many important events in this book. One event that I thought was difficult was trying to find food. This was difficult for Brain because there is not that much food in the woods. At first all he was eating were bright red berries. Later one night while Brian was sleeping, snapping turtle had laid eggs. Since there was hardly anything else to eat he decided to eat those. While he was doing this he thought of his Uncle Carter because every morning he ate raw eggs. He also ate fish (caught from lake) and "foolbirds" (birds slightly smaller that chickens). It was important that Brian was able to find food for him to be able to survive.

I would recommend this book to people who like adventure books. This is an adventure book because after the plane crashes, Brian has to find a way to survive without food or shelter. For many days all Brian ate were bright red berries. He ate them because he knew that without food he would not have survived. While he is in the woods he has many animals come and visit him. There were many bears and mosquitoes. This book was a great book and I didn't want to put it down.

Summary: Classic Survivor Novel
Review: This is one of the classic survivor novels, akin to Julie of the Wolves and Island of the Blue Dolphins. The special appeal of this book, though, is the fact that the main (only) character is a boy. Many of the situations Brian faces would be very possible for any boy to face in roughly the same manner. Brian is lucky, he knows a bit more about the wilderness than most city kids might, but his adventures are plausible and his solutions are as well. Gary Paulsen knows enough personally and directly to make the whole thing work. Kids know it and really appreciate the honesty.

Summary: HACHET
Review: This book is really good. I would read it again. In the book the main character "Brian", is in a plane crash and survives. this story is written by Gary Paulsen, and he does a great job writing this book. In this book, Brian also has to live in the wilderness with his hachet. Brian is all by himself too, because the pilot died in the crash. So if you are looking for a good book to read then this is the book for you.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: I am 14 year's old kid who doesn't like to read books, but when I picked up the book hatchet it was a different story. Hatchet is based on a story with a young boy named Brain who is going to see his dad a long ways away from his house and then he runs in to a problem you can picture what is always happening during the book. When you need this book you never want to stop it is always exciting. Read hatchet to find out more about this book because it's a really good book. I really like to read what the main character of the book is always getting himself into.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: If you like to read mild adventure books and read a lot of Gary Paulsen or thinks he's a pretty good writer, you should read the Hatchet series (Hatchet, Brain's Winter, Brain's Return) they were all good. I call it the Hatchet series, because it's three books that continue on to each other. Except Brain's Winter and Brain's Return aren't exactly continuations. But overall the series is pretty good. I would read all three again and again. The books are all very detailed and descriptive.
