Book Review: Brians 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 abd brought 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 because he forgot something and he wants to stay there becuase he thinks he only has the woods in him. He thinks he cant lve like a normal boy like he was before. I thought this book was a good book 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: Brians Return

Book Review: Brians Return
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this book because it was adventurous, exciting, and showed yyou the way man and nature have been for the earliest years of the humans. I also liked this book because it has a lot of desire to it. He was sick of the modern 'stuff', like ovens, guns, and money to get whatever you wanted. Insted of just making it and just wanted to go back and be a part of the woods.The best part of the book to me is when Brian is quitly and swiftly paddling along the edge of the lake. He is just trying to get reacuanted with the outdoors, when a deer jumps out of the bushes. The deer had been trying to get into the water because of the misquitoes. They were all over his eyes, and the deer had run to the water so they would leave. Instead of landind in hte water, the deer had jumped onto the canoe with Brian in it. The deer did not see the canoe or Brian becsause the misquitoes in his eyes made the deer temporarily blinded. That was the best and funniest part of the whole book.
The author did a good job in descirbing the setting and the conflict. The setting was descibed to as if you hadn't ever been outside your bedroom. He used words and phrases such as lush green forest, or the quietness of the lake broken by the sharp howl of the song sang by the wolf. The conflict was a boy who had been lost in hte woods for a year, but then luckily saved. He missed the woods so much that he had started to think he was in the woods again, fighting bears and mosses in self defense. That is why I think that the author did such a good job of describing the setting and the conflict.

Brian's Return
I am reviewing the book Brian's Return by Gary Paulson. It takes place in the forest, on a beach, and on a river.
Going Back
Brian is back and he wants the joy of the wilderness again. So he goes to an area populated only by wildlife, but this time he's prepared. He has a-lot of equipment such as: A bow, arrows, shafts and points, a quiver, a knife, a hatchet, matches, lots of rice, seasoning bug repellent, and lots more. Things go fine; he hunts successfully, eats and reads Shakespeare. But soon he meets a man cooking something at his fire. Brian figures he is of no danger and sits down. They have a friendly conversation and the man leaves. Later Brian goes through shallow water and encounters a bear. Will the bear kill Brian? Will Brian kill the bear? What will Brian do? What will happen? The only way to find out is to read Brian's Return.
You should read this book
I really liked this book; it had plenty of details and was very well written, for example: "Brian sat quietly, taken by a peace he has not known for a long time, and let the canoe drift forward along the lily pads..." I read this book, and you should too.
The sequel to Hatchet
One other thing you should know is that this book is the sequel to Hatchet, and so therefore should not be read until Hatchet has been read. There are also other books by Gary Paulson that are sequels to Hatchet, those too are great books.
My recommendation
I highly recommend this book. It's a must read for Gary Paulson fans. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
