Book Review: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

Hatchet

186 pages
Type: Adventure, fiction, survival-type
Style: Not elaborately descriptive but portrays feelings and characters quite well.
Length: Well-sized, a little too short for fast readers, long enough for slower readers.
Age rating: 9/10-14
A book that grasps the survival/adventure story, describing in depth the main characters feelings and how humans can adapt to their surroundings to survive. Not inappropriate at all, although some more sensitive readers might cry in some parts. Easy to understand and follow.

Overall grade:

A well-written book, demonstrating human brilliance, adaptations, and intelligence. A relatively simple plot turned into an interesting story. Quite well-written, an excellent reading. An excellent book, highly recommended for children, shows how we depend on nature and its beauty. Overall, a very good reading.

  2. Yeah.
    It's a good book, especially good for class read-alouds. When I was in grade. 5, my teacher read books aloud to the class I found them a lot better to enjoy. Hatchet's great, but I found it a little too easy and short for my taste now.
