Gary Paulsen

So, What do you think of him?

I think he's a great writer. We had to read Dogsong as a summer assignment for enriched english class and it was awesome!

Gary Paulsen is one of those writers you hear all this trash about, but then you read one of his books and read more and more until you've read EVERYTHING! lol, Actually, I've only read "Hatchet" and "Brians Winter" but they were EXCELLENT!

 

[K-Dawn]

I've read Hatchet too. I even watched the movie. The book was better, though.

 

[Drizzt Do'Urden]

Yah, the movie didn't seem very much like the book at all!

When I was young, like 11 or 12, I really liked reading his books. I read and loved "Hatchet" and "Brian's Song", I think. I also started reading "Car Ride". I also remember reading this strange book, I remember that it was from him but I forgot the title. It was more science fiction, and was about someone that stepped into a warp hole and was transformed to another planet. It looked like earth, but everything was strangely different, like people had webbed hands and the trees were orange. Well, later he found out that he was on earth, but a nuclear bomb transformed the world into something different. Mind you, that was before I saw Planet Of the Apes, so it was a novel idea. Has anyone read something similar by Gary Paulson?

Hatchet was awesome, though the ending was kinda dull...

I don't think I read that one. It sounds good, though. I'll check it out

Yeah, but I like stories like that, so I didn't really care. I heard there's a book called Far North that goes along the same lines. It's on my booklist for a school club called Battle of the Books. I can't wait to read it.

Hey, nice signature.

Oh, there's a whole series that follows after "The Hatchet". There's The River, Brian's Winter, Brian's Hunt, maybe others. I haven't read any of them, though. Figured they would basically be about the same concept as The Hatchet.

 

[tpeltz]

have any of you read The Island by Gary Paulsen

 

[K-Dawn]

No, but I want to.
