Summary: Brian's Return
Review: I think Brian's Return was a very good sequel to the rest of the books connected to it. Having spend days and days in the wilderness had an enormous affect on 16 year old Brian Robeson. When he went back to the city where he originally lived he couldn't adapt to the city life again. Everything seemed boring and dull, so he went back into the wilderness saying he's stay at the Smallhorn's. He never went there and never came back in the fall. He wanted to live his life in the wilderness, so he satyed. This was a very good book and I'd recomend it to anyone.

Summary: Really good book!
Review: I thought that this book was a good way to conclude the series of The Hatchet. The only problem I really noticed was that It did have a weak ending, and was very short. I was a little troubled to find that this was the last book in the series. Otherwise, this was a great book, and I think anyone interested in survival skills and being in northern woods should read this series of books.

Summary: An Excellent writer
Review: Mr. Paulson is an excellent writer and he proves he writes well in the book Brian's Return. Mr. Paulson never leaves out any information needed. He keeps his readers minds working hard by using sense imaging for the reader's imagination. Even if you never have been to Minnesota you will know what it looks like just from his descriptions. Mr. Paulson makes his books so that all ages can enjoy it. In his book Brian's Return, Mr. Paulson proves he is a very intelligent man and knows what he is writing about. I recommend that everyone tries to read one of Mr. Paulson's books they are excellent.

Summary: A fitting end
Review: My son and I have been reading Gary Paulsons books since we found Hatchet by accident. We really enjoy them and find that even if they do tend to repeat some events that each is new and exciting. I will miss Brian and have high hopes that maybe in 5 years Mr Paulson will write about Brian and where he is in his life at that point.. HINT HINT

Brian's Return
Brian's Return is a disappointment! Gary Paulsen is a excellent author, but he could of done a better job for this book. This wasn't his best writhing. The beginning of this book was very boring, because he is in his home town telling how boring it is to be in town. Brian finally figures out that he likes the woods better and it makes him free. He wants to get permission to go back to the woods and live there. When he finally gets the permission the permission to go back, he has to find a why out there. An airline will drive when to 1 island and Brian's has to row his way to three other islands. He rows to one island a day and has to find his own food.
The sequels to Brian's Return are Hatchet, The River, and Brian's Winter. Gary Paulson is the author of the best selling novel of the year "Brian Winter". This book is very adventurous at times. I thought it would like Hatchet ,but it wasn't even close. I think that's way I didn't like it.

Summary: Brian's Return
Review: Now that Brian is back to civilization he is trying to make sense of his High school life. He is having a hard time dealing with his peers and thinks about his days in the wilderness. He was once very well known for being a kid who survived and now all that has worn off. Going back into the wilderness, maybe Brian can find his true identity.I would recommened this book to people who love survival books.

Summary: . . . this book takes me "back home", forces me to remember
Review: Some of the best memories are those we have long-forgotten, intentionally or not. I truly believe that "Brian's Return" is one of the most captivating and fascinating adventures ever told. A must-read for today's teens who seem to be ever caught up in the high-tech, high pressure world of today, yet searching within themselves for something that is missing in their lives - precious childhood.

Summary: Brian's Return
Review: The book Brian's Return is a very good book. It's interesting and no matter where you stop reading you can tell something good is coming up next. It's not a high reading level so it's easier to understand. The author explains every thing throw and it's not really at a high reading level.
Brian's Return is the last book in a series. The first book was called Hatchet, second was The River, third was Brian's Winter, and then Brian's Return.
Hatchet was about when it all started. Brian was flying on a single engine plane to see his dad up North. The pilot had a heart attack and the plane went down in a lake in the middle of the wilderness. He had to learn how to survive alone in the wilderness with only a hatchet for fifty-four days.
In The River, the government asked Brian to go back to the wilderness and show astronauts and the military his survival techniques that kept him alive. Derek Holtzer went with him to observe him and take notes. But during a storm, Derek was hit by lightning and falls into a coma. Brian builds a raft a tries to transport Derek to the nearest town down the river for medical help.
Brian's Winter is a little different, it takes after Hatchet. The author made it that what if Brian didn't get rescued and had to make it through the winter. The stakes were raised for survival. Brian had the longest winter ever.
Finally, Brian's Return. Brian was rescued every time before and brought back to his mom in the city. After everything Brian has gone through he has to try to fit back in with the city life. He had to get used to the tv, stove, microwave, grocery store, noisy vehicles, and everything else that he had learned to live with out. He started school again and tried to make friends and hang out, but he doesn't feel that he fits in. The whole time he is in the city he can't quite thinking of the wilderness and how much he wanted to go back. Nobody was really interested in what he felt and his stories. He felt alone until he meet a blind guy named Caleb. Caleb was very interested in what Brian had to say and always asked him to describe the scenes that he has seen. Caleb understands that Brian needed to go back to the wilderness and helped him. His mom didn't want to go but let him considering he would only be gone for a month or two and he brought some supplies such as a canoe, tent, and some food.
With both his parents gave him permission, Brian made arrangements and went back to the bush. Once he got there a thought came to him, "Should I go back home at the end of fall or stay here were I belong?"
In conclusion, I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about wilderness and survival. If you read the first three books, then this book would be better and easier to understand. I enjoyed this book very much and I think you would too. I definitely give it 5 stars.
