Summary: Amazing Survival
Review: Hatchet was an amazing story of the survival of a 13 year old boy named Brian Robeson in the Canadian wilderness. I really enjoyed this book and it held my interest with extraordinary descriptions and intense suspense. Hatchet contained adventure, but it also had deeper meanings not usually found in adventure stories. Although this book was not hard to read, and it was not very long, the descriptive details of the wilderness and the survival tactics kept me turning the pages.
My favorite part of the story were the conflicts. The main conflict in the story was a boy trying to stay alive in the wilderness alone with no food. There also was a strong internal conflict that surfaced about "the secret". "The secret" was that Brian found out about his mother's affair. In trying to survive, smaller external conflicts occurred, such as animal attacks, tornados, and starvation. All of the conflicts combined made an exciting story. Another thing that I liked about the story was the theme. The theme of Hatchet was that Brian learned from his mistakes, and moved on. This was extremely important to the story because every mistake was very crucial. For example, when Brian's shelter was not closed securely, a porcupine was able to get in to the shelter and stick Brian with its quills. This injury caused Brian great pain and limited his ability to get survival supplies. He learned from his mistake and made his shelter more secure so animals could not enter as easily. Because Brian learned from his mistakes the story was more realistic.

I disliked the mood of the story because some parts were sad. For example, the mood was sad when Brian thought his situation was hopeless. Actually, the sad mood was the only thing that I did not like about the story. I think that someone who likes adventure and challenge would like this story. A person who dislikes the outdoors probably would not like Hatchet. I enjoyed reading this book and I would read it again. I do not think that this book would make a good movie, because there was not much dialogue in the book, and I really do not think a movie without dialogue would be very good.

A good lesson I learned from this book is that being positive will always help make a negative or difficult situation better. Reading this story really gave me a new appreciation for the necessities that I take for granted.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: The novel Hatchet is about a thirteen-year-old boy who lived in New York City. His parents are divorced, and Brian is heading to Canada to spend the summer with his father, After Brian's parents divorced, Brian's head becomes filled with wonders. Brain is now going to see his father in the Canadian Wilderness. Brian has to fly from New York City to Canada in a small Cessna 406 Bush plane, with only the pilot and himself. With the pilot having a massive heart attack, Brian has to learn to fly and somehow land the plane in the wilderness. With only the clothes on this on his back and the hatchet his mother gave him, he has to leave the past behind and try to stay alive. The lesson this book thought was to never give up and to be persistence in the face of fear.

Review: Hachet, by Gary Paulsen, is a very strang book. Brian Robeson must survive in the wilderness by his observations of nature. He's a kid who has horrible luck and then good luck. For example, Brian is cold and mosquitos are biting him. He learns how to make fire, which gets rid of the coldness and the smoke gets ride of the mosquitos. I like the book because of all the animals Brian sees in the forest. he sees wolves, rabbits, porcupines, birds, turtles, and fish. I also like the way he survies and how he depends on one single tool. I would recomend this book to people likes adventure stories.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Have you ever been lost in the Canadian forest with only a hatchet? Well Gary Paulsen wrote a book about it in Hatchet... The theme is to never give up. I thought it was that because he never gave up when he was in the forest. The people in the book that were looking for the main character never gave up to find him.
The main character in Hatchet is Brian Ropeson. He is a preteen who gets stranded in a Canadian forest. Brian Ropeson is a tall boy with black hair, but, sometimes he can be stubborn. One of the reasons he lived was because he forgot to take off the present he got from his mom, a hatchet.
The setting is in present time. I know that it could have taken place between the 70's to now. The setting takes place in New York and Canada. About one and a half months went by in the book.
The plot is vary easy to follow. It is about a boy who is flying a small plane to see his dad in Canada. Brian runs out of fuel and has to crash land the plane in the forest because there is nowhere to land. Then, he is stranded there with a only hatchet to survive.
This book is one of my favorites. Out of a one to ten rating I give it a ten (ten being the best). I give it a ten because it is not impossible to do what he did and it was very interesting. But if you want to see if he survives I suggest you read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.

Summary: Hatchet is a good read!
Review: Hatchet was interesting. I was amazed how Brian survived with just a Hatchet. I can't believe he could dive so well. You would want to read this book because its is about a kid who is in a plane crash and survives in the forest for 54 days. It is suspenseful, and I had a hard time putting it down. Not good for kids under 8, because there is one gruesome part.

Summary: A Very Bad and Boring book
Review: Although I never got past chapter 8 in this book, the part that I did read was very bad and unrealistic. There is a very slim chance that the pilot would have a heart attack on a plane, and then Brian Robeson, the main character, would actually be able to fly the plane at all. Then there would be an even slimmer chance that anyone would survive a crash of such greatness where a wing broke off and the plane crashing into the lake, and then swimming out. Furthermore, I don't like this book because of the odd survival skills that Brian uses during the part that I read. I would not suggest this book to anyone.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Hatchet

A boy, trapped on an island wondering what to do. He is stranded out where no one can find him. What should he do? Gary Paulson's book, Hatchet, is a great book for people who like adventure and survival books. Personally, I like the book for many reasons. First, the book has a lot of action, and second, I can relate to the book a little bit. One of the best reasons I read the book is because my friends said that it was a great book to read. When I started reading the book I could see how the boy who got stranded felt. The best section throughout the book was probably when the boy figured out how he really missed his parents and how he wishes he could have a second chance. For you to experience the thrill of the book, Hatchet, read the book and see what you think of it.
