Summary: Gary Paulsen Outdoes Himself Again
Review: The extraordinary book, The Transall Saga, is truly the one of the best books that I have ever read. I literally didn't one to put it down at times because it got so good at some points. In this science-fiction book a young man camps out in the desert. He one day sees a brilliant blue light beam down from out of the sky. Wondering what it is, he goes up to it and touches it. He is immediately sucked up into it and transported to a strange new place. The suspense I had kept on building as I wondered if he was going to survive this weird place, and what was going to happen to him, until one day he meets some strange inhabitants of the planet who take him in. As not to ruin the book, let me just say that there are some other people on the planet that are different from and fight with the people he stays with, and this leads to wars, friendships, and eventually, an incredible climatic ending. I really thought that this book was great, and I recommend it to anybody looking for a good book.

Summary: The Transall Saga
Review: The Transall SagaI would say this is an action adventure book. I say this because Mark travels all over Transall, and while traveling he meets up with different primitive tribes. He has different exciting adventures with each tribe. People who like adventure or action stories would love to read this book because of all the exiting things that happen to Mark on his search through Transall to find the blue light that warped him into the distant future. I think this book should be read by ages seven and up and mostly read by boys. My two favorite events of literature are setting and theme. The setting of this book is a mixture of the forest and the mountains. The theme of the book is what it's like to live in a place you don't know anything about. I would rate this book like this: five stars on a 1-5 star scale.

Summary: The Transall Saga
Review: I have read the book called The Transall Saga. This review will be what I thought of the book. I'd definitely have to say this is one of my favorite books of all time. It has action, mystery, adventure and even some sad parts! My favorite thing about this book is that from beginning to end it will leave anyone guessing until the very end. If I could make one recommendation for the readers I'd like to say, the book starts out a little slow but it gets much better as you go on. And that was my review on this book, The Transall Saga. Thank you for reading it.

Summary: Gary Paulsens amazing book
Review: The Transall saga is a very good book for a person who likes books about survival and who have read other Gary Paulsen books. In this book Gary Paulson writes about a man named Mark who goes on a solo camping trip in the dessert. One day he was out for a small hike and he saw a beam of light coming from the dessert sky to the ground. He went close to it to examine it ,and a snake bit him. He fell into the light, and he is transported to an alien world. He has no bites ,and now he has to find a way to survive in the world that he does not know of. I definitely give this book two thumbs up.

Summary: Webbed hands and strange looking eyes
Review: The Transall Saga, by Gary Paulsen is a great book. It has a great plot, and well developed characters. This is an excellent book for anyone that likes science fiction or adventure stories. The story begins in the desert, where a young boy named Mark goes on a hiking trip. Then out of nowhere comes a big bright blue light that transports him to an unknown place. To Mark it all seems like a different planet. Everything has changed including the anatomy of people, plants, and animals. People have webbed hands and feet with strange looking eyes, trees and grass are red, and animals are like creatures from a horror movie. The story is a non-stop roller coaster ride with thrills, chills, and spills. However I think that the ending was lacking. The conclusion was too abrupt and left too many lose ends...I advise any readers to stop at page 243, because the ending is so dissapointing, you would be better of making up your own.

Summary: Best from Paulsen
Review: I thought this book was a great survival story. It had sudden twists to the end of it. It always had you guessing what he was talking about. When I read this book I disliked reading entirely. This actually brought hope to me. It has such good detail you can practically visualize what the author is talking about. How he killed the massive creature or how he destroyed the evil enemy at the end. This book made you wonder what really was this "dimensional portal" linked too. A new world, another dimension, universe, the past, or even the future? You didn't know how Mark was going to survive in the jungle. He had to scavenger and make friends out of nowhere. A unexplored and unfamiliar world to him. This was actually a great, exciting, and an awesome thriller in my opinion. Until later in the story you realize this is the future not the past or another world. And the supreme king of the "future" Earth is a escaped convict from the 1960's who found the portal in a canyon and unknowingly went inside it because he knew he was going to be captured at any second from the man hunt being held in the state. Since he knew about the advanced technology in the past compared to the present in the "future" he ruled quickly and swiftly. No one knew where he came from but Mark found out what truely happened and how he came to rise in power. He was sort of a communist not letting other people discover those technologies to improve their weapons to create a rebellion against his rule. Not knowing what had happened in the past he still tries to slay the prisoner, knowing that he'll help the people in the present time. In my conclusion to this book I believed it was one of Paulsen's greatest masterpieces of writing. I've read The Hatchet and it compares greatly to this book. It has the same concept and I rate The Transall Sage a 5/5 *Stars* Great book! I recommend this to anyone who loves to read adventure books.

Review: This book is the best! If you haven`t read it you have to. A boy named Mark decides to go on a camping trip across an abandonned missle range. When he sets up camp for the night a strange light appears. Mark wonders into the light, BIG MISTAKE! He was transported to another world, or it seemed. This world is inhabited by many strange species of animals. He meets these people who live in tribes. Since he`s pretty big compared to them, he`s considered a leader, almost. He meets another human like him. His name is the Merkron, and he is wierd. The Merkron is like the god of the world which the tribes call the Transall. Mark ends-up killing the Merkron because the Merkron is trying to kill him, and escapes his soldiers. But one day the soldiers find Mark and corner him, but all of a sudden the light appears again! I`m not tellin you anymore because your going to have to read it to find out.

Summary: The Transall Saga by: Gary Paulsen
Review: Now I don't read much, in fact I almost hate reading! But I saw this book and a decided to read it because I have to read a book for school. I started to read and it started out with action and that made me read more. Each page I read, I wanted to read more and more. It had a lot of action and the story had several exciting twists and turns. It starts out like this. A boy convinced his parents to let him on a hiking trip alone in an old military missile range in the dessert. He rarely goes on trips and he mostly reads hiking magazines. Mark, the boy, starts to sleep after a long days hiking when a fireball falls right next to him and flickers out. He goes to investigate and sees this strange blue light. He thought it was some old military experiment. He goes to touch it. Suddenly, a rattle snake snaps and he falls into the light... He awakens and searches his hand for bite marks from the snake...Nothing... He looks at his surroundings and finds himself to be in a field. He walks a bit and finds himself sinking in quicksand! He manages to get himself out and lies down. Suddenly, he feels himself getting pinched by the red bug creatures! He shook them off and took off his clothes to see if they're all of. Ant then a buffalo creature comes by he climbs up a tree but the buffalo creature took one of his boots and ripped his shirt to shreads. He climbs down, puts onhis remaining clothes and moves into a jungle. He meats a creature that looks like a cross between a teddy bear and a monkey. At night he hears the noises of the jungle and a loud howl. He gets used to the jungle. One time when he was out hunting he saw a puddle of something on the ground...Blood... He heres shreaks outside and tries to find them. He sees a wolf creature, a.k.a. the howling thing clawing at someone in a tree. Mark shoots an arrow in the back of the animal. It turned around and attacked... And that's just the beginning. Read it for yourself. You'll love it, I did.
