Add a CommentThis novel kept me riveted! All I could do was think about it while I was reading it, and I was sad when the book ended.
This book is my sons favourite book he as ever read. He always reads it happily every single day.
This is an excellent book for 8-10 year olds. I remember loving survival stories as a child and this one is right up there with Robinson Crusoe in terms of self-reliance and ingenuity. Brian is a thoughtful boy and slowly comes to terms with his situation and learns how to provide for his needs. Well constructed plot that progresses logically through Brian's learning curve. Great read.
I remember reading this book in school. It's very well done and should not be missed!
The Hatchet was a very good story. I thought that it was very good because I had a great plot and explained the characters very well. Good job Gary Paulsen!
nice book lots of details i never got bored it was like a story climax thourgh the whole story
A great look at what it might take both physically and emotionally to survive in the wilderness. A great story!
My teacher read this book to my class, and I felt a rush of energy and excitement blow through me. Even though my teacher doesn't enunciate very well, I felt like I was there with Brian! Amazing.
This is the first of a series that Gary Paulsen wrote about a boy stranded on an island with only a hatchet to save him. EXCELLENT read for young and old, boy or girl. I cannot recommend this book more for any child over the age of 8.
a really good book. when i was reading it looked like a movie was going on in my head!
