Hatchet -Book Review
Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen
Summary
Hatchet is a thrilling survival story about a boy named Brian. One day, the plane he was co-piloting crashed, because the driver had a stroke. So Brian is now stranded in the wilderness, alone, with nothing but a hatchet. As he struggles to find ways to survive, Brian thinks about home. He has a secret. The Secret. But he hasn’t told anyone about it, because its one that could tear his family apart. With thoughts of the Secret running around in his head, how will he be able to overcome the challenges he faces in the wilderness?
It was incredible to read Hatchet. Although it was a survival story, the plot didn’t just revolve around that. It was also about Brian’s emotions and personal life. This helped me empathize with the character, which allowed me to connect with him as well. But the actual survival part of this story is filled with action and adventure, which made it fun to read.
Several parts of the book felt like they got too repetitive; This probably bothered a lot of people, and it did, because the repetitions were very distracting.
Overall, great survival story that paints a picture in your head with its vivid details.
