Summary: Paulsen really connects with the young male reader.
Review: Essentially Hatchet is a "survival in the wilderness" tale like many others. The concept is not new and Paulsen doesn't really do anything revolutionary with it.

The strength of this book lies in Paulsen's ability to connect with his readers. This was my son's all time favorite book during is pre-teen years, and his love for this book motivated him to read every other Paulsen book available, all of which he liked, especially the Dunc and Amos series.

I mentor boys this age in a local school and have, for the past 12 years, every Christmas, given this book as a gift to my mentoree--every single one of them has raved about what a great book it is.

All I know is that any book that can get 11 and 12 year old boys excited about reading is a very valuable commodity.

Summary: Great survival book!
Review: This book tought me a lot about common sence. I learned how to survive in the wild with no food and no one to talk to for a long time. I mean who would have thought that some one could use some thing as useless as pocket lint as a starting of fire? This was one of my favorite book of all times... Gary Poulsen is a terrific writer and i cant wait to read the sequel "Brian's winter". This story is one that you have to read before high school and it's quick too. take my advise yo have to read it!

Summary: Alone in the Wilderness
Review: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have to survive in the wilderness...alone? That is exactly what 13-year-old Brian Robeson had to do on the book Hatchet. He was on his way to visit his father when his plane crashed. He had to provide everything for himself: food, shelter and other necessities for life. This book is perfect for anyone ages 9 and up.
The book Hatchet is all about a 13-year-old boy trying to live alone in the wilderness. The writers use a 13-year-olds perspective in writing this book. Everything is new to Brian and he has to eat berries and other foods that he has never tried before. Sometimes he eats the wrong things or too much of something and his stomach doesn't agree. The way he talks is like a 13-year-old also. "I'm hungry." He said it aloud. In normal tones at first, then louder and louder until he was yelling it. "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!" He is just like any other 13-year-old and the book proves this and helps the reader relate to Brian.
The book is very simple to understand and has many facts about animals and plants. It tells about snowshoe rabbits and chokecherries and many other wildlife animals and plants. Hatchet is very informative but also lots of fun.
This is a book that you would never want to put down once you start it. Hatchet has many facts and is very action packed and adventurous. Anyone 10 to 14 would find that it is especially great because it relates to them but anyone 9 or up would love this action-packed book!

Review: Have you ever been stranded in the woods all by yourself? In the book HATCHET, Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father for the summer when his pilot has a heart attack. Brian is able to crash land the plane in lake nearby. Brian had to face the elements of nature and starvation. He had to learn how to survive with only his hatchet and his surroundings. This book is for middle school age students because the vocabulary is exelent and easy to understand.
HATCHET is a good book thatyou cant put down. There was a tornado that destroyed Brian's shelter and scattered every thing he owned. One night while Brian was sleeping a porcupine intruded his shelter and stabbed Brian in the leg with its quills.
HATCHET was a good book that teaches you how to survive in the wilderness. Brian had to gather berries, hunt rabbits and birds, and spear fish to eat.
Hatchet is a fiction story because it didn't really occur.
Brian Robeson has a plane crash and is stranded in the wilderness. He has to learn how to hunt for his food. Brian has to fend against mosquitos, flies, bears, moose, and tornados.

Summary: A Pretty Good Book
Review: I just finished Gary Paulsen's book Hatchet. It was a pretty good book. I basically liked the whole thing. I like how Brian always comes up with new ways to survive. I suggest that you read it because I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars, and a 9.4 on a scale of 1-10. I can't tell too much more or else I'll give the whole book away. So, if you like books were people have courage and hope, then I'd recomend this book to you.
