Book Reviews of Brian's Return
Book Review: Best book of the year Brian's Return
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book it was very pages turning. My favorite part of the book was when Brian went back to the woods. The book is all about a boy that goes back to the woods to live and get his life back. When he is living in the woods he has a lot of suprises. You have to read Hatchet first because you will not get anything. This is a perfect gift for any boy that likes the outdoors or camping. Also it is very short (110 pages) so if you don't like long book this is for you.Book Review: Boring!
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is so incredably boring. The only reason I gave this book 2 stars insted of one is because it was the final book in the Hatchet series and I would never have to read any of them again. Absolutly nothing happens in this book that is woth actually reading, and taking up you time.Book Review: Brian's Return
Summary: 5 Stars
The book Brian's Return is a very good book. It's interesting and no matter where you stop reading you can tell something good is coming up next. It's not a high reading level so it's easier to understand. The author explains every thing throw and it's not really at a high reading level.Brian's Return is the last book in a series. The first book was called Hatchet, second was The River, third was Brian's Winter, and then Brian's Return.
Hatchet was about when it all started. Brian was flying on a single engine plane to see his dad up North. The pilot had a heart attack and the plane went down in a lake in the middle of the wilderness. He had to learn how to survive alone in the wilderness with only a hatchet for fifty-four days.
In The River, the government asked Brian to go back to the wilderness and show astronauts and the military his survival techniques that kept him alive. Derek Holtzer went with him to observe him and take notes. But during a storm, Derek was hit by lightning and falls into a coma. Brian builds a raft a tries to transport Derek to the nearest town down the river for medical help.
Brian's Winter is a little different, it takes after Hatchet. The author made it that what if Brian didn't get rescued and had to make it through the winter. The stakes were raised for survival. Brian had the longest winter ever.
Finally, Brian's Return. Brian was rescued every time before and brought back to his mom in the city. After everything Brian has gone through he has to try to fit back in with the city life. He had to get used to the tv, stove, microwave, grocery store, noisy vehicles, and everything else that he had learned to live with out. He started school again and tried to make friends and hang out, but he doesn't feel that he fits in. The whole time he is in the city he can't quite thinking of the wilderness and how much he wanted to go back. Nobody was really interested in what he felt and his stories. He felt alone until he meet a blind guy named Caleb. Caleb was very interested in what Brian had to say and always asked him to describe the scenes that he has seen. Caleb understands that Brian needed to go back to the wilderness and helped him. His mom didn't want to go but let him considering he would only be gone for a month or two and he brought some supplies such as a canoe, tent, and some food.
With both his parents gave him permission, Brian made arrangements and went back to the bush. Once he got there a thought came to him, "Should I go back home at the end of fall or stay here were I belong?"
In conclusion, I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about wilderness and survival. If you read the first three books, then this book would be better and easier to understand. I enjoyed this book very much and I think you would too. I definitely give it 5 stars.
Book Review: Brian's Return
Summary: 1 Stars
THe book is called brians return it is the second book of the others. The author is Gary paulsen. to me it is a realistic fiction. At the begining Brian is found and broght back home. later a kid attacks him but brian defends himself and beats him up. Later he realizes he needs to go back to the forest becuase he forgot something and he wants to stay there becuase he thinks he only has the woods in him. He thinks he can't live like a normal boy like he was before. I thought this book was a good boob because it is something that might happen and it is a very good selling book. I would recomend others to read this book.Book Review: Brian's Return

nonfictionBrian's Return
Brian's Return is a disappointment! Gary Paulsen is a excellent author, but he could of done a better job for this book. This wasn't his best writhing. The beginning of this book was very boring, because he is in his home town telling how boring it is to be in town. Brian finally figures out that he likes the woods better and it makes him free. He wants to get permission to go back to the woods and live there. When he finally gets the permission the permission to go back, he has to find a why out there. An airline will drive when to 1 island and Brian's has to row his way to three other islands. He rows to one island a day and has to find his own food.
The sequels to Brian's Return are Hatchet, The River, and Brian's Winter. Gary Paulson is the author of the best selling novel of the year "Brian Winter". This book is very adventurous at times. I thought it would like Hatchet ,but it wasn't even close. I think that's way I didn't like it.
