Summary: HATCHET
Review: The Hatchet is about a teennager named Brain. It was in the summer when Brain was going to see his dad because his parents are seperated. When Brain was going on his trip he got a hatchet as a gift from his mother. When Brain was at the airport he got on a plan and got to sit with the pilot. When Brain took off the pilot asked him if he wanted to stir the plan but Brain was afraid but still he did it anyway. After awhile the pilot had a heart attact and he thought that it was something that he ate that morning but it wasn't. The pilot was knock out cold, Brian knew he had to fly the plane. Brain tried to call for help but didn't know where he was. The next thing he knows is he is waking up on the shore. If you want to know what happens to Brian and how he survives, read the Hatchet. It was a great book.

Summary: This book is AMAZING!!
Review: Hatchet is such a cool book. As I read this book, in my mind I could picture exactly what and where Brian was. I didnt want Hatchet to end. It helped me learn survival skills also. This has such a great point to it also. Hatchet is about a boy named Brian, whose parents are divorced. Brian is going to visit his dad in the canadian oil fields. It is only him and the pilot on the way there flying over the canadian woods. Oh no, the pilot has a hard attack, Can Brian fly a plane?? Hatchet also has suspense, I did not want to put the book down. Hatchet also made me fall in love with it, because me and Brian are somewhat alike. I love to hear what he does to survive. I also love this book because it is so descriptive and easy to picture in your head. Read this book, you will like it, I gaurantee it.

Summary: Hatchet if you buy it you won't regret it.
Review: Hatchet has won the Newberry award and it's one of the best books we've ever read. The author of Hatchet is Gary Paulsen. You should read more of his books (if you have not read one already). The genre is realistic fiction, adventure and action. The main character is named Brian Robeson. Brian is on his way to visit his father, because his parents are divorced but on the way the plane crashes. Suddenly he finds himself in the Canadian wilderness all alone with nothing but his Hatchet.

Summary: Classic Castaways
Review: I read this book when I was very young, about 6 or 7 years old, and loved it. Paulsen's tone of writing has an ebb and flow that is becoming increasingly rare. He doesn't tarry (like Lord of the Flies) on motionless landscapes, but delves the reader straight into the heart of the action.

Josh's psyche is deep and ponderous, and I sensed the tincture of lunacy lurking at the back of his mind. The castaway children-novel has been used quite a few times, but no noticable cliches in this book. (or they're just marvelously disguised)

Very satisfying read. I'd recommend it to anyone, young or old.

Summary: It's hard to be totally alone.
Review: The book Hatchet was a really great adventure book. It's about a boy whose plane crashes in the wilderness. He has to learn how to survive using the hatchet his mother gave him. All alone, he has to learn how to find food, make a fire, and not give up the hope that he will be rescued.
Gary Paulsen is a great writer and I hope that if you get Hatchet, you enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: hacking the hatchet
Review: I thought the hatchet was an all right book but it wasn't the best book I've ever read. Gary Paulsen could have expanded this book and made it better. Because it was really short and he could have made it longer. It was only 200 pages. I can relate to this book because Brian and me both hunt and love outdoors. I also know what it feels like to lose your stuff by a tornado because this summer my house was hit by an tornado. If you liked Gary Paulsen you should check out some of his other books because they are al full of adventure

Summary: An incredible survival story
Review: It all started with a divorce. Brian, a thirteen year old kid from New York,is going to visit his father in the wilderness of Canada,where he now lives after the divorce. Brian steps into the copilot seat of the small bush plane. He waves good-bye to his mom as the plane takes off. About half way to his destination, the pilot starts complaining about terrible cramps. The cramps get worse until the pilot passes out. He's had a heart attack. Now Brian must fly the plane alone. After running out of fuel, Brian crash lands in a lake in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. This is the beginning of an incredible survival story of an inner city boy.
I really enjoyed this book a lot. The way Gary Paulsen writes it, every chapter pulls you deeper and deeper into this amazing story. Although anyone would enjoy this book to the very end, I think people who like the outdoors would get the most out of Hatchet.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: ...The pilot let him take the wheel only for a moment on Brian's side of the plane. The pilot was still in the pilot seat when he died of the heart attack. Brian then took the wheel on his side of the plane as the pilot had showed him previously and tried to land the plane as best as possible. He landed in a small lake and began his man vs. nature ordeal.

Summary: The Hatchet
Review: This book is about a boy named Brian. His parents get divorced and he crashes the plane that was taking him to see his dad on the Canadian oil field he works at. He survives with only a hatchet by building a house which gets invaded by a skunk, a porcupine, and finally ripped down by a bear. He decides to build it better and it seems as though he'll be okay, until he has a bad day when he gets hit with a tornado and a moose. The tornado rips down his new house and so he swims to the plane, gets the supplies, turns on the emergency transmitter, and gets rescued.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: If you want to read a good book I would recommend the Hatchet. I would recommend this book to others because it is exciting and has many near death experiness. The characters are great. My favorite character is Brian because he is brave,smart,and very consistant .There are many good moments but the best moment is when brian catches a fish because he has a chance of living. So if you want a book with excitment and adventure go pick up the Hatchet.
