Book Review: Brian in Canadian Wilderness
Summary: 5 Stars
Brian Robeson had no chance to share his feelings and information about a big family's secret with his dad. (Hatchet) After the plane crashed to the lake, Brian spend more then three months in the Canadian Wilderness alone, and he survived only with his hatchet. At first he was hoping that somebody will find him, but time passing fast, and no one has found him. Everybody thought that Brian is not alive anymore. Brian started a new life in the wilderness, he made his own "house", found new friends. In this book you will find a lot of information about survival tips, benefits from the nature, and also about hunting. You will learn how to build a shelter, how to make a fire, how to make weapons and more.
If you are interested in how Brian survived in the Canadian Wilderness during the wintertime, when weather is colder than you can imagine, you should read this book.
I liked this book because the author did a good job to create a vivid picture in your mind when you are reading this novel. Gary Paulsen described all Brian's life in the wilderness by the things he learned from the animals, lessons from his mistakes. The best thing about this book is that this novel Brian's Winter is not boring at all.
Book Review: Brian's Winter, a wonderful book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard about Brian's Winter when my teacher gave every student a copy the day before winter break. I am not a very bookish person, so I only read books that I tremendously like from the first chapter. This book was one of the rare books that captivated me on the first page. Without warning, Brian was involved in a horrible plane crash. He sustained no injuries, and afterwards he also survived on the isolated lake grounds for a very long time. I was very interested in all of Brian's weapons, his Native American ways of survival, and his hunting skills. I had tried reading Hatchet but it didn't really interest me. A good strategy to get yourself reading more is to read the second book in a series to get all the excitment right away, then read the first in the series. I was really impressed by Brian's way of survival in the wilderness. It was very suspenseful and exciting when Brian had to put up somewhat of a fight against some of his larger prey. I just couldn't put the book down. I admired Brian's way of life so much, that now one of my favorite things to do is to hunt rabbits and set traps for birds. In conclusion, Brian's Winter was filled with excitement, suspense, and emotion.Book Review: Brian's Winter

Brian's Winter
Brian's Winter is a riveting survival story of a young boy's adventure through the wild. You will read of the many discovers Brian makes along the way. The decision he makes and how he over comes the wilderness. How he is able to feed himself and make a shelter to live in during he's time spent there. Read the mistakes that Brian has learned and how he deals with being alone, so far away from he's family.
I don't read much but I'm the kind of person that likes to read mystery, fantasy, love story's etc. Occasionally I do find a book like this one that keeps me interested in survival and it makes me want to finish it. The book is a page-turner it's like what happens next, you just can't wait.
I personally rate this book on a 1-10 scale (1 is bad, 10 is very good). This book to me is a 10, I loved the book that much. The whole idea of the book was great. The idea of a young man going thought the wild show's how strong one can be when Put in danger. How he makes weapon and the knowledge he has is amazing. The strength he has to go on and never stop because he knows someday they will find him.
Book Review: my favorite book
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed Brian's Winter because it was a surprise all the way through the book. My favorite part of the book is when Brian thought that he heard gunfire, but it was only the tree sap freezing up and making the trees explode.This book is the continuation of a book called Hatchet, as if he had not been rescued though. This book is about a boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the wilderness with his only tool, his hatchet. He survives by making a war bow to kill for food and protecting himself. By the kills, he turns the hides into coats, boots, and laces, which keeps him warm in the winter. He also found pots in the tail of the plane that he boiled his meat and water in.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes surprises. This book can be for all ages. Anyone who wants to learn a little about the wilderness this is a perfect book for you. This is my favorite book. Anyone who read the first one and thought it left you hanging Brian's Winter tells you what would happen if didn't get rescued or saved before the harsh winter came.
Book Review: Wonderful Continuation of "Hatchet"
Summary: 5 Stars
It never occurred to me that there could be a sequel to "Hatchet". After all, at the end of that book Brian was rescued. And yet, there it was amongst the other books by Gary Paulsen, so I picked it up, wondering what it could be about.
Rather than doing 'hand waving' author-magic to get our hero back into the woods, Gary just comes straight out and explains that he got lots of mail asking what would have happened to Brian if he hadn't been rescued. I guess, like me, those readers were wondering if he would have frozen to death. And Gary's solution to this question was to do some research and then to simply pretend that the rescue kit never had a rescue beacon.
In any case, if you liked "Hatchet", you will like this continuation of Brian's adventure. The tone of the writing and story is exactly the same. This, and the other books which followed, are just fabulous.
Highly recommend this kid-tested and parent/teacher approved series.
