In the book are a lot of hard words. I think this book is boring. I didn't like to read this book. There wasn't a lot of action. I like, stories where there are a lot of actions. I did like the main character Brian, because he is a strong person. He thinks, about how to survive without being scared. He always think before he does something.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Hatchet Review Review: This book is about a thirteen-year-old boy. The boy named Brian Robeson. His parents are divorced. So in the summer he wanted to visit his father because he was living with his mom. He was really happy that he will be able to see his father. Then they started to fly and the pilot had a heart attack and died. Brian was scared and didn't know how to land the plane. I was scared for him too. He started living by himself. He did not know anything about how to live in the wilderness alone. And there were no living people out. He had a lot of challenging things but the most important thing he had was a hatchet it helped him a lot. He learned how to make a fire with the hatchet. He also learned to be careful with this tool since it was a weapon that the coned defend himself with. Brian had changed as a person from this experience he was almost an adult in his thinking. However, I think there could have been more action. It would be more interesting if there was more action. I would give this book 5 point out of 10. I was feeling very sad when he was alone, I was scared for him. I would be crying if I was him. It would be really scary for me being all alone in the wilderness, with all kinds of animals.

Swore and hissed, "Chest! Oh god, my chest is coming apart!" Brian knew now. The pilot was having a heart attack." Hatchet is one of the best books I've ever read. It's about a boy named Brian who crashes in a plane and now must live in the wilderness. By himself he has to find food, build a shelter, and more with only a hatchet. Gary Paulsen has written a few of these Brian books. Brian is very brave in this story, but I think in the beginning he was really scared and didn't now what to. Later on in the story he got use to the wilderness and started to like it. Once he was looking for berries and saw a bear. The bear was looking for the same berries that he was looking for so he just stood there until it left. He learned other things about living in the wilderness like how to catch a fish and start a fire. I recommend this book to whoever likes adventure, mystery, realistic fiction, or just books that Gary Paulsen wrote. Happy reading!
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Newberry Winner??? Review: Hatchet was a good book don't get me wrong, but a Newberry Award Winner?!?!? It did lack detail and could be quite dull at times, but at some parts you couldn't stop reading! Its a very imaginative book but in my opinion it isn't to realistic! I mean c'mon a kid who has no experience takes over a plane and crashes it into a lake beautiffly?!?!? Yah, that happens everyday! Oh yah and that ending, weak!!!
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: This was a interesting book.

This book was so good I didn't want to but it down. who ever reads this book I promise you wont be sorry.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Page turner Review: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is the best book ever in my opinion. If I could rate it one to five, one being the lowest and five the highest. I would probably rate it a 5 star book. The setting of this book is in the Canadian wilderness. There is only one main character and that is Brian Robeson. The other characters are Brian's mother and father, and the pilot. The whole conflict of the story is that Brian is stranded in the Canadian woods and has to survive with just a hatchet, the woods around him, and the torn windbreaker on his back. This book is a must read for the reason that this 13 year old boy is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. Also most pages left you wondering what was going to happen next so you kept turning the pages. It was almost like I was falling into the book's trap. Not only is the book good but the author is outstanding at writing books. Gary Paulsen is an out doors man. Gary has written almost 200 books. They are mostly outdoors books for example "Hatchet", "Woodsong", "Dogsong", "The Winter Room", and many more. The only reason I read other authors is that my English teachers make me. Gary Paulsen Books inspire me. I get interested in the book very fast when I read Gary's books. This shows why I liked to read "Hatchet" and it tells some parts in "Hatchet" and why I like Gary and some facts about him.

Review: Hatchet Aladdin Paperbacks, 1987, 189 pages Gary Paulsen ISBN# 0-02-770130-1 Have you ever been lost in the Canadian wilderness with only a hatchet? I'm sure you haven't. In this compelling adventure of surival, Brian Robeson's plane crashes on the way to his father's house. Brian must withstand for fifty-four days the challenges that encounter him with only a hatchet. He never gives up, no matter what the tribulation may be. Brian is an exasperated teen, his life is turned upside down all because of the SECRET, his mother cheating on his father. Now he is trying to surive all because of the SECRET. Brian must remember everything he can from school and put it into practice. "Brian had once had an English teacher, a guy named Perpich, who was always talking about being positive, thinking positive, staying on top of things. That's how Perpich had put it -- stay positive and stay on top of things. Brian thought of him now -- wondered how to stay positive and stay on top of this. All Perpich would say is that I have to get motivated. He was always telling kids to get motivated." This thought that entered Brian's mind helped him survive his ordeal. This book is a very culminating adventure book. It reminds me of the Andes Mountains survivors and the anguish they went through. I would strongy suggest this book. Hatchet definately gets a 5 star rating in my oppinion, I hope you think so to.

Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: My Review Review: If you like books about adventures and fights to stay alive Hatchet is a good book for you. Brian Rodeson is a Thirteen-year-old kid whose parents were divorced. He was going to the Canadian oil fields to see his father. His father was a mechanical engineer and invented a new oil-drilling bit. Brian was over the Canadian wildness and the pilot is having a heart attack and Brian started to panic because he was the only other person in the plane, he called for help many times. After awhile the plane ran out of gas and he had to crash land in a lake. After the crash he was left with the clothes on he had on and a hatchet on his belt. He thought he was going to die but he started to eat some berries he found. He built a shelter under a rock cliff. He made a wall out of wood and put it up against the rocks. Then he tried making a spear and a bow to catch fish. He finally started to hunt birds and rabbits. I think people that would like this book are people that like adventure and action. I like how Gary Paulsen writes because makes you feel like your actually there.
