In the woods, completely alone with no house or electricity is Brian Robinson. In Brian's Return, Brian is a believable character that you will get attached to when you read. Brian develops as the story goes along. This book is in a nature wonderland in present day Canada. Brian couldn't handle the city life in New York City so he moved back into the Canadian woods for another epic adventure. The story has little dialog but Brian has conversations with himself. This book has some suspense and the atmosphere is quiet and full of beauty. This great book will leave you wanting to know more about Brian and his adventures in the woods.

The book that I read was Brians Return. I thought that this was a very good book becauseit is adventurous and exciting. Here is a short description of the book, Brian gets rescued from thge woods 2 years ago and is brought to the city and he doesn't like it there. So he starts to plan and buy equipment like a bow for hunting and a canoe to travel in. So he gets flown out to a chain of lakes and he canoes up them, some interesting things happen to him like a deer jumping off of land into his canoe but thats all that I am going to tell you so I don't ruin the story. It is a pretty good book so I will have to give it a four star rating.

this book has soo many details in the amazing stories before brian's winters time. and i cant wait to read brians hunt because these books are just amazing to a boy who is 13 just like me to battle the wilderness with just a hatchet and with a right state of mind. this book is spellbinding as in the book " beats the hell out of the foot ball player" the detail was enormouse in the suspense of the pummling of the bullies face and him striking every blow. this man i think should diserve 1,000 awards for these books. when i got hooked on the hatchet i just kept reading i even got in trouble reading these books. this book made me realize how hard it would be just to survive 54 days in the wilderness on nothing but rasberries and fish for a month and a half. this book has moved me in so many ways and i hope involves other people to and binds them in these ways i have felt to. scincerly joseph manz.

He had to write it. How else was Brian going to test out that great Canoe named "The Raft" which Derek sent him. As Brian was on the plane, flying back to the wild, an old man sat next to him and said (great quote) "well, you can take the man out of the woods, but you can't take the woods out of the man." In that environment, your mind, your soul finds peace. Brian just HAD to get back to the woods again to find that sense of peace.

Please read my review of the first book "hatchet"

I got this book for a summer reading project and loved it. It's about a boy who goes back to the wilderness after trying to get back to normal after being in a plane crash. He buys all his supplies and goes back into the cannadian wilderness and wants to get to his freinds who have a camp a hundred miles away.

I had many thoughts about the book. I thought that Brian¿s Return was very well put together. Every chapter had so much detail that you could get such a good mental image. Those were some good thoughts about the book. I think that the ending wasn't so good because it never really had an ending. It only says that Brian "follows his medicine" and to me that really doesn't say much. I would like to know what happens to Brian when he grows up and how does him leaving the city and living in the woods affect his family. I think the lesson of the book is if you have a compassion or love for something you can never really give it up. It¿s saying that you will always love to do what you like to do. Over all, I think the book is very good.

Brian¿s Return is written by Gary Paulsen. I believe the author¿s purpose for writing this is to show people what your life would be like to run away, or if you had to survive out in the wilderness. I think that the author is trying to get the attention of the reader. The author has Brian telling the story. I think the author is trying to compare this to real life by showing what it would be like to run away from home. I could connect to Brian in the story because I and a lot of people have thought about running away. I think that the author was successful in writing this story because I learned what the author wanted me to see. This book compares to the movie lost because the people were lost on an island and so is Brian. The significant thing about the books title is that Brian did go back to the island. I would recommend this book to someone that is thinking about running away because they will realize not to run away. I agreed with the author and I liked the book it was interesting. I felt that the ending ended too soon because I hoped it would have went on longer. I rate this book a four, because the author had some good ideas.

If you've read Hatchet and Brian's Winter the book Brian's Return is awesome. The book is filled with funny,cool,and exciting things. Everyone I know loves the book. Brian's Return is about Brian returning to the Canadian woods he was once lost. This time, Brian has come prepared with bows, a tent, a canoe, and so many other things needed to survive. While there, he runs in to some problems. One day he was canoing, and all of the sudden a deer jumped into the canoe and flipped Brian over. This made him pick a campsite and let every thing dry. One of the things that amazed me the most was that everyday Brian would learn more about the woods. He would become one with the woods. Brian thought he was one with the woods until he met this man he made Brian realize what one with the woods means and what life means. This book would be great for anyone who likes adventure and excitement. This book would also be great for anyone who likes nature.
