Book Reviews of Brian's Winter
Book Review: Best book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Brian is his name and surviving is his game. Brian Robeson was in a terrible plane crash and now hs has to survive in a cold winter, in Canada. He has very few supplies, so he has to make some weapons and tools to survive. Since it is winter, he has to make some winter clothes. He is in a forest that has a lake near it. He can use the hooks and string he has, from the survival pack. He puts the hook on the string and ties the string to a stick, and fishes...until the lake freezes. I liked this book a lot. It was very detailed and had a lot of action in it. The best action part that I will never forget is when Brian shot a moose with an arrow. It came charging at him, and jumped him. He made a lance, and when the moose came back to jump on him again, he picked up the lance and lunged forward, stabbing the moose right in the neck, and killing it instantly. I also liked the novel because of the suspense. For example, when Brian thought he heard gunshots across the lake, he was scared at first, but then he became curious. It turned out to be something other than hunters. I was excited at first, because I thought that he was going to be saved, but he wasn't.Book Review: A Very Good Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Brian Robeson is stranded in the Canadian woods, near an L-shaped lake. The woods are on the side of the lake. He has to learn to stay alive through the winter, so when he hunts and gets a rabbit, he makes clothes out of the skins. My opinion of the book is that it is very, very good! I think that I liked the setting the best. I think the setting was especially descriptive when Brian went hunting in the winter, and he saw all the snow. The second reason I liked the book so much was the animals. When he was hunting the moose, it seemed so real. That's why I liked this book so much. You should read this book and you'll see what I mean.Book Review: This is the best book?read it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Brian Robeson is a teenage boy and he wants to survive the wilderness. The novel Brian's Winter is written with great, realistic details. It was also written with simplicity, which is why I liked it. I could understand it, completely. Brian is a thirteen-year-old boy who hasn't been rescued, from the novel Hatchet. So he has to face the cold winter months, alone in Northern Canada. This time, Brian has a survival kit, which he found in the plane wreck. The kit includes a rifle, two butane lighters, a fishing line and a sleeping bag. But he still has to find some food, to stay alive...I liked this book because it has a lot of hunting, and suspense in it. When Brian was in the woods alone, he hunted, and I could imagine that I was he. One part I liked in particular was when he found the Cree, and he was warm and stayed full of food.Book Review: A Great Novel!
Summary: 5 Stars
Paulsen's novel, Brian's Winter is written with realistic details about how Brian tried to survive in the winter. Brian Robeson is the thirteen-year-old protagonist, who lived peacefully in Hampton, New York. This story is a sequel to Hatchet, told as if Brian hadn't been rescued and had to live in the winter. Brian encountered many conflicts, including person vs. nature, when the temperature changed and when a bear attacked him. I liked this novel because the details were good and realistic. They made me feel like I was in the story, and I could see the snowy trees, and beautiful scenery. I liked this story because it told how Brian made weapons, such as a bow and arrow, which he used to kill birds and rabbits.Book Review: Good Book!
Summary: 4 Stars
Imagine you had to survive in the freezing cold temperatures of Northern Canada. So cold that when you spit, your saliva froze before it hit the ground. This is what Brian Robeson had to do, in the novel Brian's Winter. Brian is the same 13 years old protagonist who remained in the wilderness. This is the second sequel to Hatchet. He is still located in a coniferous forest, where he crashed, in Hatchet. The most important conflict of this book is for him to stay alive in the wilderness during the hard winter. I think this is a very good book. I liked the plot because it stayed at a steady pace, and was exciting. I couldn't wait to see what would happen in the next chapter. One other reason I liked this novel is because it was full of adventure that made me feel like I was right there, with Brian. My only complaint was that the ending seemed too choppy and abrupt.
