Rating: Summary: The Transall Saga a great adventure Review: Gary Paulsen takes you on an exciting adventure to a new world in The Transall Saga. Mark, the main character, is on a hiking trip through the desert when suddenly he finds himself transported by a blue tube of light to some primitive world. This new world is like nothing he's ever seen. He must use his skills to survive. As he travels through this magnificent world, he discovers his own startling powers. This book is packed with adventure through its 56 chapters and 248 pages. I've read this book three times and each time, I've learned something new. This is the kind of book you won't want to put it down.
Rating: Summary: The TRANSALL SAGA review Review: Noone has ever been in to the future but the author, Gary Pausen, makes it seem so real. The book, THE TRANSALL SAGA, is based around thriteen-year-old Mark HArrison. Mark begins his journey in a desert hiking and sees a blue light. He walks towards it. Suddenly, he blacks out. He awakes to be on what appears to be another planet. THE TRANSALL SAGA is all about survival of the fitest. Mark is a relatively calm and cool character. I mean, who can survive in a world that they knows nothing about with the clothes on his black and a pocketknife. All his life, Mark has wanted to saomething like this. Know he is forced to. Through out his journey, Mark makes loyal friends and dreaded enemies. Mark soon learns the dangers of the new world . The first thing that attacks him is a buffalo like creture. He learns about the scorpion things when he layes on top of a colony. In the jungle, there is always the danger of falling out of a tree while collecting food. There is the chilling howl of the Howling Thing which he hears every night before he flls asleep. One day while on a scouting trip, he finds an arrow. That means there are other humans in the area. Mark is torn with indesicion. Were they savage or helpful? There are many "species" of human on the planet. All of them are kind of savage. I rate this book highly because the truth is a lot better then what you can think of. This book has sword fights, chases, survival, and suspense all in one. That's why I recamend THE TRANSALL AGA by Gary Paulsen.
Rating: Summary: Good begining... Review: This book was really good, it had adventure, amazing plot twists, and fleshed-out characters. Then, Paulsen just seemed to get tired of writing. The main character was just by chance whisked off and dropped back home. I mean, that could have happened any time in the story. I liked the book but was highly disapointed with the ending.
