Hatchet has a believable and natural plot the whole story flows through out the book, at the start of the book there is a lot of tension. But when Brian is starting to learn how to live in the wild there isn't that much tension.
The climax is very logical and exciting there are quite a bit of questions left unanswered like “Did he ever go back to his dad’s?” The main character Brian changes a lot because he was a city boy at first and all he would really do was watch T.V. When when the plane crashed he was very unsure of what to do. In the begging he would eat berries, then Brian started to realize that he won’t live much longer if he doesn't start making things to live. Brian starts eating other stuff besides berries and he is building tools so he would be able to survive.
When he changes it is very realistic and it could happen in real life. There is really only one character throughout the book besides his mom, dad and the pilot. The author is able too create really good images in his writing. The author has really exciting critiques. The author creates exciting sentences. In places of the book it is a little tense because you want to know what happens next. He doesn't use a lot of similes he could have use one in this sentence “The smell was awful and he couldn't place it” he could of said the smell was like something.
I would recommend this book to people a little older because there is some drama and some of the writing the author uses is a little bit harsh.
