content: 'Hatchet' is a pretty good book. The story starts outa little slow, but it picks up and gets more interesting. It really makes you see how it would be like to live out in theforest with nothing but a hatchet to start with. A tornado,bugs, wild animals and the need for food are problems Brian hadto cope with. The hatchet his mother gave him is obviouslyhis most important tool, because without it he couldn'thave made fire, his bow, spear and arrows, or the raft. The hatchet made all the difference. I will probably read it again and I would recommend this book to anyone, especially if you've ever wondered what it would be like to live in the woods with nothing but yourself to rely on.
