Hatchet Book Review In my opinion I think that hatchet is a very outgoing book.I think that everyone should read this book because it teaches a valuable lesson that I think everyone can learn upon when life is hard. Brian had to go through some twists and turns but in the end he made everything seem that it wasn’t that hard to be stranded in the wild. I would give this book a five stars because it taught me a personally lesson that times in life can be hard but that other times life can be so beautiful. In my opinion I think that the pilot is the best because he taught Brian how to fly a plane but when Brian said he couldn’t the pilot told him he could do it. MAJOR SPOILERS: my favorite major spoilers is when Brian founded the transmitter and that helped one of the other pilots find him and rescue Brian.
