Book Reviews of The Transall Saga
Book Review: Great story
Summary: 5 Stars
The teen hero of the book falls into a spot in the desert that takes him to another place to another place where he must learn to live off the land or die. Just when he masters some skills he is captured and made a slave by feudal tribes of beings that are similar to humans. He fights for his freedom and becomes a leader.
When I was a kid, my dad introduced me on to the rollicking science fiction he had read when he was young himself. Robert Heinlen, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Andre Norton... In the same vein this is a good adventure yarn of a stranger lost in another land.
The author is well known for his great teen survival stories (like Hatchet) and western adventures, has written a new teen adventure in the genre that I grew up with and miss so much. Thanks Gary, and I hope you write some more like this one.
Book Review: Help find a way
Summary: 5 Stars
The Transell Sega is the best book I have ever read by Gary Paulsen. The young boy named Mark was out hiking when he saw a beautiful blue light and gets transported some where else or maybe not.Time passes as he is this strange place unknown to him. He thought there was no other human but himself,but descovers he was wrong. In his time he meets people of a trbe.What kept me reading this book was I wanted to see what happens in the end.
Book Review: I Would Definitely Recommend This Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I would recommend this book to people that are becoming young adults. In this book Mark, the main character, is on a trip in the Magruder Missile Range all by himself. He is there because he likes the outdoors and is trying to find his inner self. He finds himself and many other people along the way. After being sent to an unknown place, he must adapt to his new surroundings, and fulfill the 3 basic needs (food, shelter, clothing). He ends up staying in this world for quite a while. He ends up having some really good friends and quite a few enemies a couple in which he ends up killing. I really enjoyed reading this book even though the ending kind of leaves you hanging. I would definitely recommend this book.Book Review: It's a Saga if you dont buys this Saga
Summary: 5 Stars
Gary Paulsen's action/adventure book, Transall Saga is a book that would actually want you to go to the book store to get it; I know that's sounds like a lot to some of you but I guarantee that you will understand after you read this review. It's not like most books that look good at the book store but when you start reading it, you can't lift your hand to turn the page it is so boring. Mark is the main character in the story and he is a die hard camper. He decides to go out camping in the desert one time all by himself. No he doesn't get eaten by a bear or anything scary like that, he gets sucked into a light that's takes him to the place he knows as Transall. Gary makes the scenery so real and vivid in the book that u actually look around to make sure that there are no monkey-bears around. The farther you get in the story the more you see mark develop, he starts to understand that he could be in Transall a while, so he starts to in a way grow up. As the books goes on Mark finds primitive people, he is glad he found people but he is still stuck on trying to find the light he came in on. Through Paulsen's writing style you get more familiar with all of the characters and terrain because there is not too much dialogue to slow it down. I think that anyone would enjoy this book and I really recommend this book to people who would rather sit there annoying themselves by saying "I'm bored," 364 times before finally getting something to eat( Don't think I don't know how you people work, because I do.)Book Review: Mark the Adventurous Camper
Summary: 4 Stars
The book that I read was Transall Saga by Gary Paulsen. This book is about a boy named Mark who went camping with his family. While he was camping he heard a noise, and went to go see what it was. When he got closer he found out that it was a rattle snake, and he got to close and jumped back. He landed in a blue transporter and when he landed, he realized he was in a totally different planet. At this different planet he was looking for people and he saw all these people. He found out it was a tribe, because they captured him and they made him help them. Mark started asking the tribe about this transporter and they said it only bring you back when it wants to bring you back.
I liked Transall Saga overall because I thought it was very exciting. This book was also by Gary Paulsen and I have always liked his books because they have a lot of action. The part I liked the most was when Mark was in the transporter and didn't no where he was.
I also had some dislikes for my book and one of my dislikes was in some parts of the book it was confusing. Another was when Mark jumped back and fell into the transporter; I thought it could have had more detail.
I would recommend this book to boys who like Gary Paulsen. I would also give this book to boys between the age of twelve and fifteen. Boys would also like this book if they like reading action or adventurous stories.
