Summary: Hatchet a review by T.J.
Review: Have you ever thought things could not get any worse? Well that is how the protagonist, Brian Robeson, feels in the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.
If it weren't bad enough that his parents had gotten a divorce recently, Brian is flying a plane with no pilot. He crash-lands his plane in a lake and it sinks to the bottom with all of his supplies. He is desperate for food and he feels he can't go on any longer. But after a long time thinking, he discovers food, water, fire, and shelter. Then one night a small curious creature enters his shelter and injures Brian very badly. Brian feels his wound and feels quills. Then he knows it is a PORCUPINE!!!
A few days later an outstanding thing happened for Brian.
Brian hears a plane flying over-head while making a bow and arrow. He rushes back to his camp and starts a signal fire for the plane to see. But what happened next devastated Brian, the plane turned away! Brian feels there is no hope after this. All of his dreams are destroyed and he is going to give up.
But you will have to read this book to find out what happens next! The story Hatchet is very interesting and exciting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventurous books.

Summary: One of Gary Paulsen's works of art!
Review: The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is a masterpiece. I love how real the story is and once I started it was hard for me to put down. The author is so descriptive with the things Brian is going through. At times I can fell like him in the shelter at sunset. Watching the sun fill the sky with colors. Also I felt it when Brian got the survival bag. I was looking forward to read what Brian was going to do with all that stuff. Well as Perpich said "You are your most valuable asset. Don't forget that. You are the best thing you have". I think that that is so true. Even though the hatchet saved Brian's life a few times I think he would have some how still lived without it. I know that it would have been much harder but I think he could have lived without it.
I think that the theme of Hatchet is to be prepared for the worst. I agree with it 100% because there have been times when I though that things couldn't get any worst but they did.
I would so recommend this book like I said it is a masterpiece. The book will bring you right in and time will fly by without you knowing it. It's like a vacuum! Also I would read it because Gary Paulsen is such a good author. I also read "The Car". Also another great book. But that's another story to tell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hatchet Review
Review: For these past two weeks, I have been reading the novel,Hatchet, written by Gary Paulsen. Thirteen year-old, Brian Robeson is a very couragic and inspirational character. His Hatchet, that his mother gaev him, also played a heroic role aswell. It ended up basically saving his own life. This novel struck my interests because I really enjoyed the way Brian never gave up: "Now I have some food and I can do something about fixing this plane up."(page 64-65). Brian inspired me with his never-ending persistance.

The theme of this novel is that humans, when lost or trapped in an environment like tundra, Canada, they will try their hardest and make the best fo the situation that they're in - whether they survive or not. I definately agree with this theme because I have been in situations like Brian's. My friend and I had gotten lost on a camping trip where the temperature there (New England)was ten - fiftheen degrees farenheit outside. Luckly, we found our way back to the campsite within a couple of hours - nothing though, like Brians experiance.

I would easily recommend this novel to others; to anyone who enjoys this fction genre, or to those who would like ot learn survivol tactics adn a moral of life. The novel tells a tael of inspiration, couragic behavior, and the shear will to survive adn enjoy and respect life . This novel is just the perfect feel-good story and makes you cherish life to its fullest. I really hope that others read this novel adn realize its greatness. I can't wait to read the sequal.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: We read this book in class. I liked it and am waiting for someone to check in "The River" at school. The reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was because it was really gorry. It was a good book and kept me on the edge of my seat. One of the kids in my class kept saying what they would do because they lived in the country, they kept calling him "city boy" but I think Brian did a very nice job surviving. Good job Gary Paulson and keep writing those great books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A marvelous book
Review: ...I think that everyone should read Hatchet, a spectacular novel by Gary Paulsen. The foremost reason why I think Hatchet is great is because of the way Paulsen describes all of Brian's situations. He describes them so well that it feels like you're in that situation yourself. Then after some situations you just have to take a little break because they were so real. The next reason why I adore Hatchet is because of how Paulsen puts himself into the story. Almost all of the things that
Brian went through in the book Paulsen had gone through during his life. For example, like Brian, Paulsen had to hunt to survive in the wilderness. My last and favorite reason why I enjoyed Hatchet is because of the way that Paulsen always left you guessing. In the story you would for sure think that something was going to happen, but then there was a sudden turn of events. Sometimes the turn of event would be good then other times bad. As you can tell, Gary Paulsen truly out did himself in the spectacular novel Hatchet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hatchet
Review: Hatchet was a good book. I realy liked that book. When I was reading the book it made me feel like I was in the book. There was nothing I disliked in the book. The book taught me lots of suvival skills.

In the book Hatchet, the best part of the book was the end. If I had to choose one part that I enjoyed the most, it would probably be when Brian got resqued. This was the most exciting part because Brian was out there so long. I wanted the book to end too.

One of the most vivid parts of the book Hatchet was the setting. This was when Brian crashed the plane into the lake that was surrounded by land. He described it so well that I had to stop reading for a minute. The vivid conflict of this book was man against nature. Brian was faced with a lot of dangers by being stranded in the mountain. One example was when he got hit by a porcupine. He told us in so much description that I thought my leg got hit by a porcupine.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: hatchet
Review: One of my favorite books, I have read in the past year has to be , hatchet by Gary Palson .
It's a marvelous book about a young boy, and how he got himself stranded from an airplane. One of the major reasons I enjoyed this book is because it's about a boy my age. The plane brine was riding on had an engine failure and crashed in to a lake. Brine was the only survivor. Another reason I found the book to be so wonderful is because It's by my favorite author, Gary Palson. Most of his books are a true story about himself. Of course, my favorite reason for loving this book was wonderful to read. My favorite part of the book was how brine struck his hatchet against the wall of the cave, and made a fire from the fling sparks. As you can see, hatchet by Gary Palson was truly my favorite book.
