Summary: Survival of the Fittest
Review: A Review by Bryan

In Brian's Winter he was going to see his uncle when his plane crashed. He was stranded on a lake beach with only a survival pack. As he was sleeping one day he notices that he felt a cold breeze that felt like winter was coming. When he felt that the winter was coming he had to run and waterproof his hut with a mud solution. He also had to go and gather a lot of firewood to keep him warm.

I liked the book actually quite a bit. I am kind of and outdoors type of person. I really liked the ways he survived basically because the gun he had had broken so he had to make a bow to hunt with. He actually hunted fairly well with a bow because a bow is hard to hunt with. My favorite part was when the twenty two rifle broke when he was hunting and he had to resort to his bow. If he hadn't had had a piece of bow string he wouldn't have been able to make the bow. The stick he used must have been pretty strong.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes an adventurous type of book. This book is not a sci fi type of book; it is more of a true story. If you are a hunter or an outdoors type of person you should love this book.

Summary: Stranded
Review: A Review by Bryce

Brian's winter is a book about a boy that is still stranded in the wilderness after surviving a plane crash. He was left with only a survival pack to stay alive. Whatever wasn't in the survival pack was up to him to make or find. After he had ran out of food from the survival pack, he hunted and fished for his food supply. He made camp by a body of water where his plane had crashed. Brian soon felt the coolness of winter, and before he knew it, there were several feet of snow on the ground. Brian survived for months into the winter until one day he went to explore further than he already had. He walked for a good half hour then he spotted tracks; he thought that they were wolf tracks. He followed the tracks to find a fort with dogs outside. A Native American man walked out of the fort with his wife and kids to invite him to stay for dinner. Brian accepted his offer.

I think that Brian's Winter is a fun and exiting book to read. It is also an easy book to read and is just long enough to the point where it is not consuming too much of your time to read it. Brian's Winter is a book full of suspense and action. This book is one of the sequels to Hatchet which was also a good book. I look at this book and I see a book that people of any age from 10-100 would be interested in reading and have fun reading. This is a great book about learning how to survive in the woods with only the close on your back and natural resources around you.

I highly suggest anybody from ages 10-100 to read this book, it is not a story for people of certain ages, but fits the category of all people who are interesting in exciting and fun stories. I know that if anybody is interested in action packed stories, they will be very happy with reading this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ugh...
Review: This was the worst book I have ever read apart from any other Gary Apalling book. It was desgusting! All he talked about was how he killed this and ate this and... [went to the bathroom] on this. I would not recomend this book to anyone and if I could, I would give this 0 stars, but 1 will have to do.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Brian's winter
Review: In the book Brian's Winter by Gray Phaulson, a 13 year old boy gets stuck on an island by himself; after a plane crash. This book is interesting and exciting.
Brian Robeson had just been in a plane crash on his way to visit his father. When the plane crash Robeson ended up on the Canadian wilderness by stranded himself. Robeson soon learned how to live on his own and survive by himself. Using his intelligence, his instincts, and the only weapon he had a hatchet. As he lives through the fall he learns to make a fort to live in, a bow and arrowheads. He also leaned how to hunt. Robeson lived trough the fall he also found more weapons, lighters, pots and pans. He found all of his tools on the plane that he had crashed in. Robeson lived every day of his life as an adventure by hunting and gathering wood for fires. Robeson also faced times where it would be really cold and rain all day so it was hard to find dried wood. He knew that his deadliest fear was coming soon.
One major strength of this novel is that it is interesting. This story is interesting because you get to see how he learns to adapt to his environment by, making things that helps him survive. Some of those things where weapons such as a bow and arrow heads. Some other things that were interesting was the way he learned how to hunt, and cook his food. It was also interesting how he made a fort and his clothing. Another strength of this book is that it is exciting. This book was exciting because Robeson gets in really tight spots where he cheats death. Another reason why this book is exciting is because; he lives every day of his life that he is stranded as in adventure. Those are just some of this novels major strength.
In other words this novel was interesting and exciting because of what Robeson does and what happens to him. This book would be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just Plain Enjoyable
Review: This is the first Gray Paulson book that I ever read, and I am sure going to read more of them based on this book. In this book, a teenage boy is trapped out in the wilderness and must use his wits to survive. With a survivor pack he got from the plane that crashed, he survives through the spring summer, and Aoutum. He builds a shelter, catches fish, and hunts rabbits and turkeys with a small bow and arrow. He even makes his own weapons that are stronger then the weapons from the pack. This book, though not a sequel, comes off of Gary Paulson's novel, "Hatchet." The difference between this book and "Hatchet" is that in this book, Brian has to survive through the winter. I personally think that anyone would like this book. Read It!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brian's Winter
Review: In Brian's Winter, the sequel of Hatchet, written by Gary Paulsen, Brian is still stranded in the woods fending for himself. He has found a survival, but inside there is no communication device. This means that he has to stay in the woods for much longer. When the gun that Brian found in the survival kit breaks, Brian must make a more heavy-duty bow-and-arrow than the one he already has. This way he can kill bigger game so he doesn't have to go hunting as much during the winter. One night, when Brian is out in the woods hunting, he finds a straight, smooth trail that no animal can make. The next day, he decides to follow the path. A little ways in he turns a corner and there are three wolves'

Rating: 4 stars
