Summary: Guts
Review: The book Guts, is a very good book. If I was you and you haven't read Hatchet then I would not read Guts. So let me tell you what this story is about. Gary Paulsen has been attacked by a moose. He doesn't die luckily. My favorite part in the story was When a boy feeds a baby deer mints.His mom tells him to hold out the mint. When he does that he ittitates the deer. The deer ran into the boy. Does he die or is he alive. You will have to read this book to find out what happens.If you are the readers who I hope you are you will give this book 5 stars.

Summary: Guts
Review: The book I read is called Guts by Gary Paulsen. The Delacore Press published it. This book is a biography. The theme of the book is person vs. nature.
This book is a story about a man, Gary Paulsen, and his adventures in the wilderness. His problems were bears, little or no food, and Mother Nature herself. He ate things you wouldn't call normal and survived like this until he found something else. Then he continues his adventures so he has stories to tell.
This book was very interesting to me. I justwanted to keep reading and reading. I loved to hear about all his adventures. Sometime's I'd be so into my reading I'd lose track of time and read 20-40 pages. Time would just waste away. The book was also very entertaining. It had tons of action and was always keeping me wanting to read more to find what will happen next. The only thing I disliked was there wasn't enough to satisfy me.
I agree with the author with almost everything. The author didn't actually say that living in rugged outdoors was hard, but you could tell he thinks that. Everything he did I don't consider to be too easy. The author also said that hunting is life. I don't like to huntso I don't agree with him on that subject. I don't like to sit around and end up with nothing. That would just waste the whole day when I could be doing something else. An issue raised was, is it possible to survive, with nothing, in the wild. Gary says yes!
Overall, I think that the book was a great book. It had a lot of action and there weren't any boring parts. The main reason I liked it so much was that it interested me. If I was to give a reader advice on wether or not they should buy this book, I'd tell them to go and get it, it's a wonderful book and you won't be disappointed; and that's coming from someone who hates to read.

Summary: true grit, high interest book
Review: There seems to be very little Gary Paulsen hasn't experienced first hand: crashing a bush plane, being pummeled half to death by an angry moose, attempting to drag a 200 pound deer out of a swamp, roasting squirrels over spits, eating bugs, eyeballs, and guts... This is a collection of real life adventures that inspired events in Paulsen's novels. A must-read for fans of these books and for anybody (esp. boys) who love disgusting, dangerous, modern-day survival stories. It's easy to read and gives an appreciation for true survival skills in a world that has largely lost touch with such values. ages 10+

Summary: Guts: The True Stories Behind Hatchet and the Brian Books
Review: This book is for people who have already read the Brian books. It provides vivid images and memories of Mr. Paulsen's own childhood and life. He uses these memories to create his characters and give them life. This book is riveting and attention grabbing. I now have a better understand of Brian and Gary Paulsen too. I recommend this book for the older more mature reader and lover of Mr. Paulsen's books.

Summary: The amazing stories of Guts
Review: This book is gory and interesting. This book has a variety of true stories. Most of the stories are gory but the last story"The Joy of Cooking". My favorite part is when a little boy was teasing a white tail deer with mints the deer jump up and stabbed the boy in the chest with his hooves.
I like this book it is interesting and gory it is fun to read.

Summary: I loved it!
Review: This was the coolest book I have read in a long time. I usually don't read books, but Gary Paulsen was my kinda guy. He was really graphic about what stuff he wrote about. I liked the chapter called Eating Eyeballs. I think anyone who likes adventure stories would like this book. And the cool thing is that it is all true!

Summary: If You Liked Hatchet...
Review: You must read GUTS, which describes adventures in Gary Paulsen's life that inspired and educated him, making his descriptions of Brian Robeson's experiences in the woods realistic. Included are the story of how the author was attacked by a moose, how he survived in the woods by hunting with primitive tales, and how he found and cooked food in adverse conditions. Readers who have loved Hatchet for years will appreciate learning the "inside story."
