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.

Summary: Vanchman's book shiznack
Review: The Transall Saga by Gary Paulsen is a superb book. It takes place in the past on what appears to be a different planet. A young boy named Mark gets bitten by a snake and falls into a big blue light and is transferred into a new time. I encourage the people who are reading this to buy or get this book at a library or a book store, because once you start to read this book, you will never want to put it down.

Summary: What a great suprise!
Review: This book is so great! It's really hard to find a good sci-fi book that is clean and seems realistic. It has a great plot and an incredible and suprising ending! The story is always changing and has lots of action. I would recommend it to any 10 to 12 year old who wants a great story. (It's great for an older teen or adult too! I would know, I read it in three hours straight!)

Summary: not typical gary paulsen material
Review: This book is quite a change from all of the other Paulsen books, although it retains Paulsen's usual underlying theme of survival in the wilderness. Yup. And I'm afraid that several of the other reviewers were misguided or perhaps confused, as the book is not overflowing with "goar"; nor was the main character-Mark-on Mars. I found this novel captivating and entertaining. I enjoyed Mark's attitude that he aquired on Transall, which is the name of the world Mark is mysteriously transported to after falling into a bizzare blue light. This book has a satisfying ending and leaves the reader both awestruck and contemplative.

Summary: Paulsen Does Well
Review: Paulsen is well known for his survival books, however in The Transall Saga he mixes adventure with science fiction in an amazing combination. Most of the first part of the book deals with the main character's, Mark, survival. Then he begins to drop clues to the reader about where Mark really is. Paulsen needs to write more of these and continue his steps toward a new genre.

Review: Hi, I'm here to tell you all about this cool book.The book is called The Transall Saga and an awsome kids author, Gary Paulsen wrote it. The Transall Saga is fantasy and part science fiction and it has 248 pages.
In this book a 13-year old boy named Mark is on a camping trip in a remote dersert alone. During his trip a beam of light tranports him to another time on another planet. Mark seaches for a path to get back to the earth. He encounters with different tribes and learns how the people live onthe planet.
There are a lot of things I liked about this book. One is that this author writes in so much vivid description. Another is I know how it feels because I got lost in the woods too. Finally there was a lot of cool adventure and suspense in the book. I would reccomend this book to 11-13 because there are a lot of gory sceens.

Summary: Transall Saga
Review: The title of the book I read is called Transall Saga, written by Gary Paulsen. I really enjoyed reading this book ultimately, because the whole thrill of the main character's survival on a planet that he just so happened to warp on. Every significant method or strategy Mark uses to survive on this planet mesmerized me and kept me in suspense. I kept asking myself, "What is he going to do next, what is he going to do next?" For the past few years of my life this book has been the only one that has kept my interest. This is a little piece of evidence of the book: When Mark camps out in the canyons he spots a mysterious blue light just over a boulder and falls into it, warping him into another world. As he is unfamiliar with the planet and its surroundings, he uses magnificent methods to survive. As you read more of the book, after he has gone through the warp, you get a sort of feeling that you're at a tropical rain forest because of the imagery. If you enjoy science fiction or your favorite genre is associated with science fiction, then you'll definitely love this book and will find it very intriguing. My name is Peter and I hope all of the viewers out there had taken a look at my review thoroughly and hopefully you will read Transall Saga sometime in the near future.
