Summary: Ended too soon.
Review: I was forced to read this book in school and I hated it. It's about a boy who is haunted by his parents divorce and is going to see his father and his plane crashes when the pilot died. I thought it really neede more characters and it is no way for 9 year olds[he tries to commit suicide]. Brian has to survive alone in the wilderness and overcome depression. If you like survival books, I guess you'd like it.

Summary: Didn't like it
Review: I was forced to read this book a few years ago in school. I hated it. It was extremely boring, long and repetitive. If you like books about surviving with only a hatchet, well I guess you'll like this book.
