I could have never survived the way he did. He had nothing but a hatchet, which he used to make weapons and to protect himself. He was so determined to survive and he did. In the process he changed, he almost like became one with the animals and the wilderness. Reading this story I sometimes felt like I was there with Brian, especially through his troubles and his triumphs. This is truly an excellent story.

The reason I gave it four stars was because it wasn't as good as other books I read. It as often confusing and I did not no where the character was at or what was going on. Other than that it was a great book. The book was very exciting and some times he would be doing very well with the conflict he was in then another conflict would come and mess every thing up like a tornado or getting attacked by a mouse. The Hathcet was a great book for those who do or don't like adventure. I recomend this book to anybody young or old. This book makes you look at things differently, and I hope everybody reads it. THE END!

They said it was a great book to read, so I did. The book has really only one character in it . His name is Brian Robeson. He had just gone though a divore of his parents and was very unhappy and upset. His dad moved to Canada. He was flying in a small plane. About half way thogh the trip the pilot died from a heart attack and died which left Brian alone to fly and land the plane. It all goes down hill after that. Brian's first few days he gets eaten by bugs and also eats piosonous berries. After wards Brian start to figure out how to survive in the wild. His first major achievement was making fire and it was his most important. Brian also figures out how to catch food and cook it. Then Brian thinks his good luck had ran out when a tornado hit and wrecked most of his stuff. The day after it hit he notices that the tail end of the plane was sticking out of the water and he remembered there was a survival pack in there with an emergency transmitter. Brian swims out to the plane and cuts a hole in it and finds the pack. He then turns the transmitter on and is saved within a few hours. The conflict of this book would be man vs nature because Brian had to deal with nature to survive. Man vs himself is the other conflict and I think it is that because Brian had to use his knowledge and talents to survive. Over all I thought this was an excellent book and I recommend this book to any one that wants to read it. If you like exciting, adventeruos, hard to put down books then read this book.

This book not only deals with survival but also the emmotional aspects of the plane crash and Brian's parent's divorce. I like the fact that Gary Paulsen puts so much detail in this book. It makes the reader feel and see what Brian is feeling and seeing. I think that this is a book that both boys and girls will enjoy. Gary Paulsen did a wondeful job in bringing Brian and his story alive.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Hatchet Review: The reason I liked this book is that it delt with someonewho had to think things through. It also had some good cliffhangers. Plus it put someone through a tight situation. I would recomend this book to people who like camping, and roughing it. I also recommend this to people who don't think things through, because it shows what happens if you rush through things. It also would be a good book to people who like adventure and suspence.

He shows his mastry for describing settings and making the reader believe and connect with his characters. This book is a tribute to the human spirit and one boy's will to survive. A great book.

For some unknown reason I have started to reread all the assigned books from 6th grade on. The Hatchet is one of those, the story has stuck in my mind for years. Mainly the end-because really it's all about letting go and growing up!
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: THIS BOOK WAS TERRIBLE! Review: I hated this book because Brian just thought about food, threw up, and whined about silly things. He was always making weird noises. Plus, there was no dialoge and there were no other charecters. This book was just awful. Who could like this book? !
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: This Book Deserves an Award-Biggest Waste of Time Ever Spent Review: What a horrible, boring, time wasting concoction of cardboard, paper, glue, and stupidity. This book is among the worst I've ever read. It would have been okay if it had what it needs most: a point. Spare yourself, forget this bore of a read!
