Summary: Hatchet Book Review
Review: A 13-year-old boy named Brian Robeson was sent to see his father by his mother. He boarded a plane and he sat in the co-pilot's seat. The pilot taught him how to fly the plane, and the pilot had a heart-attack. Brian knew how to fly the plane, and he landed in an L-shaped lake. He ends up under water with the plane sinking, and he finds his way out of the plane and swims to the surface. Later, he built himself a shelter and some weapons. He was trying to survive alone in the wilderness. He tried to find food and used the lake water to drink. He found gut-cherries, berries, fish, and foolbirds for food. He was attacked by a moose and he became hurt. Then a tornado destroyed his shelter. He was attacked by mosquitos. He went to sleep and he visualized the tail of the plane sticking out of the water. He got the survival pack from the plane. He pulled out the transmitter. Someone found him and he was rescued. I liked the part where he got the gun so he didn't need the hatchet and bow & arrow. I enjoyed reading this story. I liked hearing about Brian's point of view of what happened. The part about the moose attack and the tornado was scary.

Summary: Very Good, But One Thing...
Review: Hatchet is a book that is about a 13 year old boy named Brian Robeson who is left in the woods with nothing but his hatchet that his mother gave him and the knowledge that he has earned. Brian was on his way to his fathers house when something happens, the pilot dies, and the plane crashes into an L shaped lake in the Canadian wilderness. The whole book is about decisions, questions, and other things that Brian stumbles over during his adventure in the wilderness. The one thing that bothers him the most in this book is "The Secret". The only thing I didn't like in this book is that they didn't share the mother and fathers perspective. Other thatn that, I gave the book an amazing 4 stars! I encourage everyone to read this book!

Summary: Your not going to put this one down!
Review: Brian is a thirteen-year-old boy whose parents have separated. He is on his way to visit his father in Canada when the single engine plane crashes because the pilot suddenly dies from a heart attack. Brian is forced to land the plane on a lake and swim safely to shore. The rest of the book deals with Brian's survival in the wilderness. Quite simply this is the best book I have ever read! It was a book that hooked me from the first pages. The story is written with such detail that I could see each step Brian took. I felt like I was an invisible observer in the woods. Gary Paulson has written one great book that everybody should read.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: An exciting adventure story. Our fifth grade class read this book as we listened to the audio tape of it. After we read the book we watched the movie of it and discussed the differences between the book and the movie. The book gave better details concerning Brian's feelings, the things he did to survive, and the thoughts he had as he learned he could take care of himself. This is the type of experience which holds your interest and makes you want to read it all at once. Some of the students enjoyed the movie because we could see the scenery and realistically understand where he was and how it looked where he was. This is such a good story that we want to read another of Gary Paulson's books. GREAT STORY!

Summary: Book review for Hatchet
Review: Hatchet is about an 8 year old boy, Bryan, who takes a trip from New York to Canada on a bushplane, and crashes in the middle of a jungle after witnessing the death of the pilot from a heart attack. Once Bryan realizes there is nothing he can do to exit the jungle, he starts thinking how to survive while a rescue team comes to retrieve him from such a vast and wild place. On the first week, Bryan struggles to find food, and realizes how easy people can lose everything in life, specially what they take for granted. From that moment on, Bryan starts experiencing a series of changes in his personality, thoughts, soul, and feelings, as he developed a new way of life, by discovering new ways of hunting, protecting from wild creatures, building skills, and making fires. Bryan never lost his hope of getting out of this place, despite the fact that a rescue helicopter didn't see the bushplane in the lake after a few minutes of searching the area. This happend a week after the plain's crash. Bryan ended up trapped in that jungle for 3 months before getting rescued.I enjoyed reading this book, because of its simple language and because of the way the story flowed. The only negative remark I have to mention about Hatchet, is how short the end developed. I know a second part of Hatchet was written by Poulson, due to the complainings of the readers about the lenght of the end. I really want to find the second part and read it.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: extraordinary book for pretty much all ages. I being a student in the eighth grade read the book for a book report and just needed a book to get through to get an A. Although my attitude was bad to start it changed my attitude and now all I read are books by Gary Paulsen. Take this book into consideration for anyone who doesn't enjoy to read. Excellent book!

Summary: Literary Analysis of Hatchet
Review: In this epic tale of adventure/survival Brian,a city boy,crashes in the Canadian wilderness and has to live off the land for fifty-four days. gary Paulsen takes us on this roller coaster of accomplishment,sadness,anger, and happiness.{The importance of the setting and the character traits makes this a delightful book to read.} Nature is a great setting for the story because it provides a lot of imagery for the reader to absorb. "Some swamps,but they had trees scattered through them." "No roads,trails,or clearings." Also the reader can connect with the character and imagine what is happening. "As soon as he moved,the hair on her back went up and she charged him again, using her head and front hooves this time, slamming him back and down into the water and she left again." Brian has changed since the crash so long ago. His character traits have changed from city boy to enlightened and bieng at one with nature. "None of that used to be Brian and now that was a part of him, a changed part of him, a grown part of him, and the two things, his mind, and his body, had come together as well, had made a connection with each other that he didn't quite understand." "When his ears heard a sound or his eyes saw a sight his mind took control of his body" gary Paulsen's knowlage of writing a story has really helped him complete this story. Also his knowlage of the wilderness and the safty equipment has helped to enrich the already interesting story.

Summary: Really great...no, terrific...no.......
Review: This book is actually kind of scary. It's about a boy named Brian who gets stuck in the Canadian wilderness when his plane crashes. During the flight, the pilot has a heart attack and dies. Brian "sucessfully" crashes the plane into a lake. Thereafter, Brian survives, using him, his most important attribute, and a hatchet ,given to him from his mother as a parting gift. Thoughts of his parents divorce, suicide, and death fill Brian's head as he stays by the lake, his home as he thinks of it.This story is so awesome and realisic, it's hard to believe it's fiction. Gary Paulsen's gift of writing shows greatly in this terrific (no...magnificent) book.
