Summary: Hatchet
Review: I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in survival. This book would help you if you were on a plane and it crashed in the northern woods. This book taught me so much about surviving in the wilderness. It also educated me how to make a fire. "As he was rubbing the sticks together, he realized that he needed something out of metal and as he blew a fire came." Another example of what it taught me would be when he killed his first rabbit "He cooked it like he cooked his first bird he cooked it on both sides until it was crisp on both sides." In conclusion, if you are fascinated by the outdoors and you would like to know how to survive, read this book.

Summary: Worst Read Ever!...
Review: ...It is the worst book that i have ever read. I recommened that you don't read this book. This book has no action in it at all, so if u like action u will hate this book. It is also very repetative, he says thing 5-10 times before he gets them one. I thought he might atually attack and kill the moose or fight the bear but he just ran away like a scared little 2 year old. This has to be the worst book ever made.
DON'T READ IT!...

Summary: This book rocked!!!!!!!!
Review: Hatchet was brilliant. After I had started it I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. Brian's story was amazing and I felt like I was there with him. He is flying over the Canadian wilderness to the Alaskan oilfields to see his father when the pilot has a heart attack and Brian has to land the plane himself. He has to find shelter, food, fire and weapons to survive in this wilderness. He battles mosquitoes, bears and even a moose. But in the end he is saved. I really enjoyed this book, so much so I have read the two sequels, Hatchet: Winter and Hatchet, the Return and I highly recommend Hatchet: Winter to all readers that enjoyed Hatchet.

Review: This is the worst book I've ever read.I give it 1 star becase it was boring.I really liked it when the plane was going down.How come it could'nt have some action in it.He could at least have to fight a bear or something. Or he could have meet a friend in the woods. So my conclusion is this the worst and boring book, and I will not tell a friend.

In the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen describes a survival situation of a young thirteen-year-old boy. Brian was going to Canada to visit his father during the summer vocation when the plane crashed in the wilderness. While in the wilderness Brian learned how to live by himself by using survival skills. The most important thing that Brian had would be his hatchet. I think that Brian didn't have a hatchet he wouldn't survive forty-four days in the wilderness.
In the wilderness Brian met several wild animals such as: moose, bears, porcupine, turtle, and skunk. All these animals at the beginning attacked Brian. The first animal that hurt Brian was a bear and then others. The moose attacked Brian hardest because this animal is not so small; he weights much and is bigger than human. The good thing what Brian got from turtle was turtle's eggs. Brain could eat those eggs and then be full, and of course it's much better than berries.
The wilderness changed Brian life forever. Now he was different. What are you impressed? Is Brian such a strong person like the others? What kind the boy can survive forty-four days without human being, without normal and regular food? Brian did he lived those days he never talk with anyone just by himself. Brian should be with his father and have a good time. But now is everything different. He is alone in the wilderness. He should be proud of himself because he learned many things how to make a fire without any matches, how to find food without any store and how to live in the woods. Could any of his teenagers survive like this how he did?
I think if I would be in this situation lost in the wilderness, I would like to have Brian with me because he is such a smart boy. So time to say my opinion for this book I'll give 4 stars because in this book were some details which I didn't like it. I don't think that in real life could happen that thirteen-year-old boy could survive by himself. Maybe author could made that boy was a little bit older about sixteen year old, maybe it would work then, but it's just my opinion maybe others think different than me.
In the novel Hatchet describes a survival situation about a young boy who survived in the wilderness without anything just a hatchet. He met many animals and now he knows more about the nature and life in the wilderness. This experience had changed how Brian thought about life. He learned that things don't always go as you expect.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Hatchet
By Gary Paulsen

In the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen tells about the survival situation and the thirteen years old boy, named Brian. Brian was going to Canada to visit his father during the summer vocation when the plane crashed in the wilderness. Brian spent a lot of time in wilderness without any help just his mind. In the wilderness, Brian learned how to live by himself, by using survival skills. The most important thing, which Brian had with him, was the hatchet, which his mother gave to him. This hatchet helped Brian do a lot of important things to survive in the wilderness.
When Brian woke up from the plane crash, he was afraid and did not know what to eat how to stay alive. At first Brain made a lot of mistakes, because he did not know any animals and what kind of plants he can eat. Brian saw several wild animals such as: porcupine, skunk, turtle, moose, and bear. After some time, which Brian spent in the wilderness he knew already what was safe for him to eat and how he needed to behave with wild animals.
Brian first days were horrible. He was afraid of everything and did not know what to do. Brian knew some things about the wilderness and what to do there, but then, when he was alone, he forgot everything. Brian made mistakes at first, however he learned from his mistakes a lot of useful things, which helped Brian to be safe in the wilderness.
Time passed, Brian grew smarter with each day and knew more new things. After that time, which he spent in the wilderness Brian changed a lot. He was becoming more independent and could survive by himself. He was a young boy, who I think was brave, because he tried to do something new all the time and did not give up.
I liked the novel Hatchet. It was somehow different from other novels, which I had read before. I liked the book, because it was written about the real life, not like science fiction. You can learn a lot of useful things from this story, and if you were in the same situation, this book Hatchet could help you to survive. So it is useful to read. I like the author of this novel, because he writes about events that could actually happen. In the rating scale one through five I would rate this novel a five. I would recommend to read the novel to other students and adults too.
The novel Hatchet was about the young thirteen years old boy, who was going to visit his father during the summer break and crashed in the wilderness. This event was the most important in Brian's life. He changed inside and also outside, he became independent and could live by himself. Before those two months, which Brian spent in the wilderness he was just little mother's boy, but now Brian became smarter and had more knowledge. This event gave him a lot of good experiences, which helped him to be independent.

Summary: Horrible, Boring, An Awful Read
Review: I couldn't stand this book about a young boy surviving in the wilderness when his plane crashes. Although I am not partial to survival stories, this one was beyond bad! Paulson used terribly boring descriptions that dragged on, and on, and on. The melodrama of the novel was hardly bearable. I recommend this book not be read, I was relieved to FINALLY finish it. Very predictable.

Summary: A review of Hatchet
Review: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is an adventure book and a nature book. It's a fun book to read. It's very suspenseful, you never know what's coming up next. It's also exciting because it is dangerous. It is about a boy named Brian who is stuck in the wilderness all alone with only a hatchet. He was out of sorts. He would do anything for food so he made a bow and arrow to hunt fish and birds and he made a little shelter. So if you're into nature and adventure books then go to a book store and buy Hatchet.
