Summary: My Review For Hatchet
Review: Hatchet is about a 13-year-old guy named Brian Robeson. Brian is going to his father's house for the summer because his parents are divorced. But when the plane crashes in the middle of a lake Brian finds himself in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. He must learn to survive with little more than a hatchet, the clothes on his back, and hope that he will soon be rescued. But soon the hope is gone. He must learn to survive with the secret about why his parents got divorced. The secret that gives him nightmares and makes hate rush into his veins. But he has to go on no matter what happens. He must learn to trust his instincts and senses. He has to learn to hunt, fish, and tell which berries are good enough to eat. But most importantly he must learn to listen to nature. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is one of the best books I have ever read. I garuntee that you will love it.

Summary: A classic blah blah blah
Review: From the talented Minnesotan pen of Gary Paulsen comes a story that many a kid living today has been given to read at some point in his or her life. Paulsen is to many people the ideal "boy's" author. In the stereotypical view of what boys like, Paulsen hits all the right buttons. I don't know how true to life this reputation really is. I don't know any young boys and, if I did, I can't really guarantee they'd enjoy this book. Of course, I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it very much. Would I have enjoyed this book if it has been crammed down my throat at an early and impressionable age? That's an open ended question, and I like to think that the answer is yes. This book is a lot of fun. In this era of "Survivor" like tv shows, we the American viewing public like to think we know a lot about survival. Bull hockey. We know jack squat and this book sums that point up beautifully. You're abandoned in the middle of nowhere with a single tool and you must somehow survive on your own in the wilderness. Now.... go. Brian does very well, but I couldn't help but think of Douglas Adams at times. After all, in Douglas Adams' final book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series the protagonist is dumped on a planet without so much as a hatchet. He realizes that his only real talent is in making sandwiches (which he proceeds to do with great pomp and flair). By comparison (and a comparison is, quite frankly, not fair) "Hatchet" is a dour novel. This is not to say it isn't enjoyable. And most of Brian's adventures seem utterly believable (with the possible exception of the, goodness me, tornado in his back yard). And Brian himself is a good guy. He seems like a quiet fellow and his actions are utterly understandable from page one. I don't really see the point of "the secret" (nor can I understand those parents that find it so offensive in today's day and age) in the text. I suppose it's the whole learning-to-be-a-man stuff. Not my particular cup of tea. For those students that suddenly have to learn about "Man Vs. Nature" (or don't they teach that in schools anymore?) here is the ultimate in such tales. I'd pair it with Sacher's "Holes" for an interested compare and contrast session of personalities and making-do. On the whole, "Hatchet" is a great book, and I was surprised, considering its popularity, that it only received the Newberry honor. There is no accounting for taste.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Hatchet is a wonderful exciting book about how a 13 year old boy survives a plane crash after the piolt has a heart-a-tack. He survives by drinking water in the lake and eating berries he found on bushes. Before the plane crashed the piolt told Brian (13 year old) he had a survival pack so he goes down under the water where the plane crashed to get it. This a book I would recomend to everyone!!!

Summary: "Hatchet" The Best Book Ever
Review: I think Hatchet is the best book the Gary Paulsen ever wrote. I think that because this book Hatchet won a newberry honor book.
This book has everything a book needs because it has adventure, I cant say anything else because you have to read Hatchet for yourself to believe me. If you read Hatchet it will change your life like it changed mine because the main charactor Bryan has to survive on the island that he lands on well he actually crahses on because his pilot had got a heart attack and thats what he had to do to survive or else he would have landed in the ocean and had a watery grave. I recommend this book to anybody that likes to read.

Summary: Hatchet ...I loved This Book
Review: Do you absolutley love the outdoors? If you do then HATCHET is the book for you. Thirteen year old Brian Robeson was in a single engine plane on his way to visit his father. Then something happened to the pilot and the plane crashed in the northwoods. Brian only had his clothes and a hatchet his mother gave him as a gift. Throughout his stay in the woods Brian had to find some way to survive. He used his hatchet to get food and to build his shelter. After being stranded for a very long time he realizes what he can do. Brian had a series of events and they will sure to make your heart pump. I totally loved this book, action, drama, and it shows what one person can do with so little. I would recomend this book to everybody.

Summary: Hatchet--Fight for the Fittest
Review: Do you like drama, tragedy, and action? If you do the novel HATCHET would be a great book to read! It starts out as a normal day in New York for Brian Robeson. He misses his father who lives in Canada. He wanted to visit him. He traveled there by plane. But on that day something tragic happened that will leave a scar for Brian for the rest of his life. The pilot had a heart attack! Brian cried out for help through the CB but no one responded. He tried and tried but still no answers. The plane crashed in the middle of the Canadian wilderness where he was stranded helplessly. Luckily Brain had survived the crash, he only had a few things to survive with such as a hatchet. He found many other things aboard in the plane's survival kit and many other weapons such as a rifle with a few shells. Brian never gave up hope no matter what the circumstances were. He had many flashbacks of his family which made him feel bad but also helped him out with his fight and his will to see his loved ones once again. He finds out new ways of doing things every day in the woods which was a struggle nothing was ever easy he finds shelter it looked like a pack of wolves would live but it was abandoned. Every day was a fight and he perseveres but can that still help him to his survival? Will he ever get rescued ? Will he ever see his parents ever again ? Hatchet was a great book with a lot of action, drama, and tragedy. I recommend this book to everyone. I give this book five out of five stars because it's in great detail, and very addicting. You get eager to see what's next.

Summary: Sooooo boring!!
Review: In English class earlier this semester, the book the Hatchet was the topic of all of our novel studies, and english discussions! We were told to read the book in two weeks and prepare a good solid essay on our points of view! This book was soo boring. I actually found myself skipping chapters just so that I could get through the book faster! It is soo dumb how all of a sudden he is in the middle of a tornado and how a moose is running him over?!? Soo many times in my essay I found myself using the words boring and lame. This book is annoyingly dumb and I can't understand how any one person can enjoy such a lame book! To sum up this review I write--- World class yah right!!!

Brain was very nervous when he took the controls. Jake didnt let him fly that long because it was windy. After that Brain saw Jake grabbing his right arm. Brian knew the he was having a heart attack. Brian didn't know what to do. Jake died and Brian tried to use the radio, nothing. So Brian had to fly the plane by himself. He ran out of gas and had to crash the plane into a lake the was shaped like an "L".
