Summary: The paulsen Experience
Review: The book Guts is an autobiography about Gary Paulsen. All of the adventures he has been on. How he survived as a kid when he ran away or like the first time he got a book when he walked into a library and an old lady gave him a library card. He has many stories about how he was attacked by moose and how he was saving peoples lives by driving them to the hospital in an ambulance. All of the great stories he has for you it just captures you and makes you want to read and read till you get tiered. The part of the story I liked the most was when he was hunting and got attacked by a moose. A simile that really fits this book is hatchet. This is a great book and I would recommend it to any reader.

Summary: Guts-Want a good book? READ THIS ONE!!!
Review: A wonderful book I recommend to you is Guts, a book by Gary Paulsen, a book of his childhood and what inspired him to write his many other books. It is full of adventures Gary had throughout his life. One thing is how he survives growing up in rural areas. Guts tells stories of Gary hunting for food with his homemade bow that he wrote about in one of his best known books; Hatchet. He was only able to kill small game such as rabbits and squirrels but he and Brian are both alive. The book also tells about an elk attack Gary encountered while hunting that he wrote happened to Brian in Hatchet. The final reason is it gives you more information about who is writing you and your friends favorite books. Guts tells of his home life, childhood, and recent carriers. Did you know that Gary used to mush dogs in Alaska? I recommend this book to you because I know you will like it because he uses that special technique of writing that won't let you put the book down.

Summary: The real "hero" behind the Hatchet books
Review: Although somewhat grimly prefaced, especially in revealing some unsavory aspects of his youth (little food to eat, neglectful parents)-- the sheer derring do of the author's exploits will thrill faithful readers of the Hatchet series. It will be especially fascinating to the those who always wondered about the realism of the moose attack that Brian endured.

Gary Paulsen
BOOK REVIEW Ever been attacked by a deer, or a moose? Well, Gary Paulsen has, and in Guts, Gary Paulsen talks about how he got the idea for Hatchet and the Brian Books. He tells about how he has spent a good portion of his life roughing it out in the woods and in the snow-covered regions of Alaska.
Also in guts, there are many violent or not so violent scenarios that the author has experienced that played a role in the books. For example, one of them might be moose attacks.
I though Gary Paulsen's experiences in the book were very interesting, how it inspired a major part of the story and all. I enjoyed reading this book; the stories in it were very interesting. The areas of the stories were mostly in woods, parks, or lowly populated areas.
One story in guts tells how Gary Paulsen witnessed a child being killed by a deer. A 4-year-old child was giving a deer a piece of candy. His mother asked him to hold the candy away from the dear for a minute to get a good picture. This angered the deer, and he stomped his hoofs into the boy's chest. The impact of the attack was great; the child was killed in an instant. Everyone around looked at the deer, now in an angry rage. Not too far away, there was a sign that said do not feed the deer.
I highly recommend this book for people 10 and up, who are interested in stories involving the woods, attacks, and even cooking methods.
I rate this book a 9 out of 10. It has interesting stories, and he explains why these helped him in the making of the Brian books.
Other books Gary Paulson has written include Alida's Song, the beet fields, and the boy who owned the school, the foxman, dogsong, and many others. ...

Summary: Guts is the best book ever!
Review: Ever since Gary Paulsen was young, he has had a lot of experiences with nature, ranging from crashing in a plane, to bringing home a deer easily twice the size of himself. He has had a love for nature, as well as a respect for nature. He learned at a fairly young age the ways of the woods. He learned how to read his surroundings, how to sneak up on animals, etc. All of his past experiences, such as cooking with primitive tools and eating eyeballs and guts, were valuable life lessons. All of these things he incorporated into Hatchet and all of the "Brian" books (The River, Brian`s Winter, and Brian`s Return). Guts is a book that tells all of these past accounts in great detail. It also explains the significance of them, and what lessons he learned from them. It then tells the reader what part of the experiences were embodied into the "Brian" books.
I greatly enjoyed this novel because it is a true story about true events that happened in Gary Paulsen's life. Before I read Guts, I had no idea that Hatchet or any of the "Brian" books were factual or were based on actual experiences. It is interesting how the novel gives readers tips and recipes (such as how to make a birch-bark pot using birch-bark and pine pitch, and how to make water boil in the birch-bark pot using heated bits of granite) that Paulsen has used in his adventures. I especially like how he describes the events, making you feel like you are right there with him. I completely enjoy Paulsen's style of writing. I hope this novel gives you a deeper, more through understanding of the novel Hatchet and all of the rest of the "Brain books", just as it did me.

Summary: guts
Review: Garry Paulsen s book Guts is an excellent book and it is the book I have been reading. You are sure to like this book if you like adventurous and informational stories.
This book reminds me of Hatchet and Stone Fox. It reminds me of Hatchet because Garry Paulsen got stuck in the woods like Brian did. It is somewhat like Stone Fox because in Stone Fox they have sled dog races. In Guts Garry has sled dogs, but he doesn't race.
In Guts Garry is always in the wilderness.
If you haven't read this book I personally recommend it. By: Jacob Hartle

Summary: Insight into a favorite author
Review: Gary is one of my top ten favorite authors. I met him once, at the dedication party for The Island, which he wrote for Mike Printz, my high school librarian. This book gives some of the real-life experiences from which he drew his most popular series of books. Like everything he writes, it is moving and spare, almost Hemingwayesque. This book gives more insight into his own very difficult childhood and the way that the wilderness became his parent. In addition to Hatchet, Brian's Winter, and The River, I would suggest that those who like this book read another of his memoirs, My Life in Dog Years.
