Summary: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
Comment: I became interested in reading Hatchet from friends that told me about it. 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.

Summary: My Review
Comment: If you like books about adventures and fights to stay alive Hatchet is a good book for you. Brian Rodeson is a Thirteen-year-old kid whose parents were divorced. He was going to the Canadian oil fields to see his father. His father was a mechanical engineer and invented a new oil-drilling bit. Brian was over the Canadian wildness and the pilot is having a heart attack and Brian started to panic because he was the only other person in the plane, he called for help many times. After awhile the plane ran out of gas and he had to crash land in a lake. After the crash he was left with the clothes on he had on and a hatchet on his belt. He thought he was going to die but he started to eat some berries he found. He built a shelter under a rock cliff. He made a wall out of wood and put it up against the rocks. Then he tried making a spear and a bow to catch fish. He finally started to hunt birds and rabbits.
I think people that would like this book are people that like adventure and action.
I like how Gary Paulsen writes because makes you feel like your actually there.

Summary: Hatchet
Comment: Hatchet
Hatchet is a great book for people who like adventure books. It is about a boy who is flying to his mother's house. He had to take a plane, but the pilot was not feeling well. The pilot had a heart attack. The boy tried to fly the plane, but he could not steer it and it crashed. The boy was stranded on an island with a hatchet that his father had given him for his birthday. He built himself shelter with wood he cut up with the hatchet. He had to eat fish to survive. He had to cut up the fish with the hatchet. The boy had to completely change his lifestyle to survive. He had to have a positive attitude to survive, but some days he did not feel that great. He found the radio from the plane. He tuned it and got a man on the line. He told him that he was stranded on an island. Did the man save the boy? Read Hatchet to find out!
I thought that Hatchet was a great book. It was very suspenseful because I did not know what was going to happen next. I do not recommend this book to people who do not like action or adventure. I would rate this book a four out of five stars.
