Title: Gory, Depressing & Boring
Review: The Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen is not a great book. This book has too many gross descriptions. For example, when Brian shoots the animals and when the dead pilot is mentioned, the author gives overly gory details. But, perhaps this is what living in the wilderness is like. Because of this, boys might like this book better than girls might. I did feel bad for Brian, since his parents are divorced and he was all alone. Besides being gory, The Hatchet is also a little depressing and a bit boring. I also read the sequel, Brian's Winter, and it too is not one of my favorites. I had to read these two books for school and I would not recommend them since I did not enjoy them.
