Book Reviews of Brian's Return
Book Review: last in the series
Summary: 4 Stars
You really should read this series in order to fully enjoy the books and understand Brians character. Mr. Paulsen declares in the back of this book that this is the 4th and last in the series that begin with Hatchet, then The River, then Brians Winter, and now Brians Return. The writer also explains how the comparisons in his own life lead him to write this book. The Brian books are very good, and this one is no exeption, except that it is much too short. That is common with this writer though, his books are short but packed with fast paced adventure, the beautiful outdoors, and appealing characters.It seems almost like the writer intended to return to the series for the purpose of finding closure for Brian. Some readers do not feel that closure is achieved though. We do know that Brian does not want to leave the woods ever again.
Book Review: mysticism beyond survival
Summary: 3 Stars
The fight scene is informative as to how the atitude of having to kill for survival can bleed over into inapropriate areas. The List of equipment Brian takes back into the wild is usefull. How he describes both the beauty of the woods as well as his restlessness in the city is good. His differentness in what he cares about is also informative. However, the book is essentialy a mysical journey. While Brian is Thankfull, I wonder to whom he is thankfull. What spirits guide him?
