I have read Hatchet and The River by Gary Paulsen when I was younger, but just recently I realized (thanks to Alden) there are more books. So I started out reading the Winter. It was not until I started reading it that I noticed it was an alternate ending scenario.
ReplyDeleteAll of these books are but my personal favorite is Brian's Winter.
DeleteI have read all of these books including Brian's winter. What do you thing of this alter-net ending where Brian doesn't get rescued and he has to survive longer out on his own?
ReplyDeleteI found that I like this series because of the way Brian thinks or at least the way Gary Paulsen describes his thinking. I like that Brian adapted to his surroundings and how he coped with everything that was thrown at him.
Alden,
ReplyDeleteI think this book is a really good idea, and it really shows how hard it would be to survive out in the wild.
One thing I've noticed about Brian is he adapts easily to all his problems.Possibly Paulsen wanted Brian to look more like an animal than a person. The way Brian thinks in my opinion is almost more like an animal than human. At one point he thinks he's crazy, but he tells himself he can't be crazy because he thinks he is.
