Although this book is very exciting at times, there are some dull parts. He starts to use hs instincts for every move he makes.
The book is adictive, once you start readding you can't stop. I highly recommend this book.
Gary Paulsen is a great author who has written an even better book. During this time he changes, from a city boy to a wilder hunter.
The book is about a boy named Brian who gets in a plane crash, landing in the middle of the Canandian forests. He must think back to everything about survival he has learned.
Although this change takes place, he is an emotion wreck, but soon pulls himself together to survive. For a while, Brian has the same routine everyday, but Gary Paulsen pulled though and delivered an action packed ride of a read.
It's a book that kept his interest. I purchased the book "Hatchet" on CD. Tracks on the CD do not always coincide with chapter beginnings and the reader on the CD does NOT announce the beginning of a new chapter. It's a great book for a young boy (12) who does not like to read, and reads below grade level. This way he can follow along on the written page as he is listening to someone else read the fascinating story. This is done much better on the CD for "Brian's Winter," also by Gary Paulsen, where a bit of music lets you know you are coming to the end of a chapter, then there is a short pause, a new track starts and the next chapter is announced. This makes it much easier to find the next place to start reading and listening.
HatchetGary Paulsen(1987)This is the first book in the four book series Brian's Saga by Gary Paulsen13 year old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his Father when the single engine plane in which he is flying suddenly runs out of fuel and crashes. Brian finds himself alone in the wilderness with almost nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker and the hatchet his Mother had given him as a going away present.The dreadful Secret had been tearing at him ever since his parent's divorce. But now, Brian has no time for anger, self-pity, or despair. It will take all his ingenuity and resources just to survive and more determination than he knows he has.The next book in the series is Hatchet: The Return.I highly recommend this book for young teenage boys; say 13 to 15 years old, who are interested in reading about an unplanned wilderness adventure.Gunner February, 2010
He needs to learn survival skills and other exciting ways to live in the middle of a forest. Hatchet is an exciting action-packed book that is better than Survivor Man. Brian crashes into a forest when his pilot has a heart attack. Did I mention bears, porcupines and lack of civilization. You will not be disappointed in Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.Hatchet
I rate this book five stars because it links you with the wilderness. This is about a boy that is going to see his father in Canada. If you like adventure then Hatchet is the book for you. I recommend everyone to read this book.The reason I think Hatchet is named Hatchet is because,the only thing he has is his clothing, his tattered wind breaker, and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present. but a horrible unfortunate event happens. Come with Brian and face the wilderness alone. This book is amazing, you should read it. By; Brittany M.
