Brain's Winter
Brain's winter is about a teen aged boy who got lost in the wilderness who was on a plane to see his father. When he was on his way the plane went down and the pilot died, but Brian survived. Brian has a few supplies but not too many and needs to learn how to survive in the wilderness. First he comes across two wolves that sort of help him by letting him have the rest of the deer. Second he encounters a bear twice in this which gives him a lot of problems and would have killed him if the skunk Betty didn't come rescue him. Lastly he encounters a moose, he only attacked the moose for food in the winter but unfortunately he didn't know he was so strong and the moose did die but wounded Brain with a head collision knocking Brain out cold. Now what do you think will happen next will Brain be killed by these wild animals or will he be lucky and finally be able to come home to see his parents?
If someone asked me if I liked this book I would have to say yes. The reason I say this is because it always grabs your attention and makes you want to read the next chapter. Gary Paulsen has a way to add a twist to the end of each chapter for instance at the end of chapter 16 it says "it was too warm for trees to explode". When he said these things went into my head like is he getting his hopes up or is someone going to finally rescue him.
If I was a person that rates books and I picked up Brian's Winter I would say this book would be a 4 out of 5. I say this because it was good but sometimes I felt really bored. I felt bored because sometimes what I look for in a book is more then just one setting. This whole book basically took place with him in this one spot in the Canadian wilderness. Also the only reason this book made me want to read more is when at the end of each chapter there was always something there to get your mind going and thinking what will happen next. Then if I were to give this book a rating it would be a 4 out of 5.

Imagine yourself, in an unknown wild territory, where the animals are vicious, and the winters are even crueler... Well, after reading this book, I feel as though that situation would be better than reading it. Seriously, how long can you talk about someone eating rabbits, and on occasion, a moose. I would rather mangle and mutilate myself with a hammer than read this one again. Then there was the ending. A guy who was there all along said that, "I have been waiting for you," so really, they shouldn't have named it "Brian's Winter", they should have named it "Brians Stupidity". I don't know about you, but if I were in the wilderness, I would be doing everything to get out, not just staying in one place, so toodle-loo.Book Review: Brains Winter
Summary: 5 Stars
Brain's winter, by Gary Paulsen was about a boy named Brian Robeson. Brian was on his way to visit his father for the summer and his plane crashed killing the pilot, and stranding Brian in the wilderness alone. Brain got the necessary materials and survived during the summer. Now winter is coming, can Brian survive the bitter cold of the winter?Brian had his ups and his downs during the winter. Brian had to figure out how to make several different tools to survive such as a bow and arrow, all types of clothes, a lance, and snowshoes. Brain also had a few life and death encounters. A bear came to his camp twice and he probably would have been killed if it weren't for his pet skunk. He was also attacked by a moose that he was trying to hunt and barely survived that. He was also almost killed by an exploding tree, due to the bitter cold weather, that he was standing by and a huge sliver just missed his head. He also had to go out in the freezing cold to hunt and find firewood.
I enjoyed this book for several reasons and they are once you get started reading this book you don't want to stop. You read one chapter and want to go on to the next to find out what will happen next. Another reason I enjoyed this book was because of the fact that that he was stranded in the wilderness and I like to camp and can relate to him a little.
If I had to rate this book on a scale from one to ten I would give it an eight because it was interesting and existing, but I did not like the ending. It didn't give enough information or background. I would recommend this book to anyone because it is a must read for all readers. Over all it is a really good book and keeps you on the end of your seat wanting to know what will happen next.
