The book "Brian's Hunt" was a good book. I would recommend this book to people who love the wilderness and a good adventure. The reading comprehension level would be good for middle school aged kids. This book was about a kid named Brian who went out in the wilderness to see a couple of his trapping friends. First, he canoed, hunted, and spent nights sleeping in the wilderness. He slept most of the nights in his canoe. When he was in the middle of the lake he heard a light whimpering from a dog...more

First off, note the title of this book. I didn’t realize until I was about 60 pages in or so why the book is called Brian’s Hunt.

For myself, I’m an adult now. I read The Hatchet probably about 20 years ago, most likely when it was still a relatively new book. I was a real bookworm, but due to not having such things like internet and google, my only way of finding out if an author had new books was to go to my local bookstore or library and check.

For myself, I’m an adult now. I read The Hatchet probably about 20 years ago, most likely when it was still a relatively new book. I was a real bookworm, but due to not having such things like internet and google, my only way of finding out if an author had new books was to go to my local bookstore or library and check.

Therefore it wasn’t until a few years ago I realized Mr. Paulsen was continuing The Hatchet series. I found out about The River, but then learned of the alternative ending to The Hatchet in Brian’s Winter.

The latter book is somewhat connected to this book. And to its predecessor, Brian’s Return.

In this book Brian is continuing his journey to visit the trapper family that helped him in Brian’s Winter.

I have to say I liked this one a little bit better than Brian’s Return. Okay, I admit it. It’s because Brian finds an injured sled dog, and I’m very partial to dogs.

Anyway, with that being said, the finding of this injured animal is connected to everything else in the story, ultimately leading to…Brian’s hunt.

I would caution any parents wanting to get this book for their children to read it first for themselves. Like The Hatchet, there’s nothing more gruesome than nature itself, however, the…situation that Brian finds himself might scare young children. I can’t say more or else it gives away the big climax at the end of the story.

As for the story itself, I want to say, although I can’t be sure, that the writing is slightly different in this one than it was in previous books. I can’t really put my finger on it, except to say I think Mr. Paulsen perhaps interjected into his writing style a more contemporary feel. I shall give an example.

At one point in the book, Brian contemplates shooting a deer. However, he opts not to do so. The dog, alongside him, looks over at him, as if to say, are you going to shoot or what?

Something to this affect. I didn’t’ quote that verbatim, but one gets the idea. To my best recollection, this is first time Mr. Paulsen has done something like this in his books, and in my opinion, I like it very much. Before it seemed Brian was very serious and everything was no-nonsense. Which is as it should be, I suppose, considering his age and the fact that he’s alone in wilderness with just a bow and quiver of arrows. But the tinge of…personality to this unnamed dog was a good touch.

I could say more, but being that it was such a short book I won’t. I will be curious to see if Mr. Paulsen continues Brian’s journey. At first he indicated he wouldn’t, but in this book he says he will stop saying that. So we shall see.(less)

In the Brian saga he really expressed his knowledge and love for the outdoors. Gary is extremely descriptive and draws vivid pictures of Brian’s surroundings through his eyes. Having run away at fourteen and joined the circus he had learned much of travel, working hard, and adventure. He retired of working in a small cabin deep in the Minnesota woods. Gary, his wife, and his friends are all hunters. Although he hunts his real passion is dog-sled racing. He has many experiences of seeing and encountering all sorts of animals over his racing years.

Brian’s Hunt is an exciting novel about a sixteen year old boy who has placed himself in the Canadian wilderness. This is not his first time however; he has gone into the wilderness on three different accounts. The first time was on accident, he was flying to see his dad when the plane pilot died of a hardtack and the plane eventually ran out of fuel, landing himself in a L-shaped lake. The second time he was with a journalist who was recording his daily activates, whom he saved from dying of a lightning bolt that had struck him. This time is his last time coming back and he is well prepared. He has a canoe, clothes, small things of tea and rice, a bow he made, and arrows.

In the book Brian has two objectives that he must find or figure out. First, where did his new friend, the dog, come from and why did it leave its owners. Second, he has to find his friends’ village and to meet their children. Gary said that the last Brian book, Brian’s Return, would be the last but the amount of fan-mail was too overwhelming too stop. So he wrote one more. This book constantly keeps the reader in suspense and makes you think about when you can read it next.

I personally enjoyed this book and give it a four star rating in regards to its suspense and vivid descriptions. I personally liked how Brian does not listen to his good idea/ bad idea thoughts but follows his instinct. The only thing I don’t like is the length. His books are very short, but to the point. This book is similar to the last in resort to the others, by the struggle for food, shelter, fire, and safety. I highly recommend this book and the series to anyone who loves the outdoors and has some extra time.

This is book 5 in the series. Brian was 13 in the first book “Hatchet” when he survived a plane crash and the Canadian wilderness - alone for 54 days. In book 4, Brian is 15 and returns to the wilderness - with supplies to live there for a while. This book is later in that same trip or the next year. He is now 16. He catches fish and shoots game with a bow and arrow. He discovers an injure...more

The thing that interested me was that it took place were the plane crashed in hatchet. Usually I do not get really interested in books but this one changed my whole look on reading and on the author Gary Paulsen.
Brian’s Hunt takes place in the deep wilderness on the edge of a lake. I believe the plot is believable because a lot of people go back to the wilderness and see all the wild life and animals. In this book Brian said he hated city life so he decided to go back to the woods where he got lost in the plane crash. I thought this book was very enjoyable and was action packed. Some action that sparked my interest was when brain gets chased down by the bear while hunting.
I can relate to Brian because I do not really like the city life, kind of like the author. Also he lives to hunt and fish and those are some of my favorite hobbies. Gary Paulsen relates to Brian in many ways because most of his books are about things that have actually happened to him in real life experiences.
Out of five on Gary Paulsen’s voice I would give him a five because he tells how bad things look or smell with such description that I can almost see and smell the dead animal that he is describing. When he kills a deer for meat he said that he had gotten use to the horrid smell of intestines.
This book is interesting because what happens toward the end could really happen to somebody. What gives the book an environmental feel is all the species of animals he names in the book. If you are only reading this book because it only has eighty pages, then you need to think twice because this book is simply amazing, and usually I cannot relate books into my life but this book I can.
In conclusion, I highly recommend reading this book if you like hunting, fishing and action in the wild. Also if you like adventure novels recommend this book.

I was mostly surprised more than anything else about this book. The other book I started to read from this author was Brian’s Return and half way though I quite because I was so confused about it. Then I heard about this book from a friend. So I tried it and I have to admit that it was pretty good.

Brian”s Hunt is set in the Canadian wilderness. Brian is just out in the woods as he likes to do ever since he survived a plane crash a few years ago and had to survive for a few months in the woods alone. Brian brings a little more to survive on then he had last time from the plane crash. This time he has a canoe, sleeping bag, fishing pole, and a first aid kit. Brian just thinks it’s going to be a normal time out in the woods. Well, he was wrong.

One night Brian is suddenly awaken for some reason. By now with all his time in the woods every time he is woken up randomly either he is in trouble or someone or something is in trouble. This time he hears a whimpering sound off in the distance. He gets out of his sleeping bag and goes to see what it is. When he gets there he found a dog that has been attacked by something or someone. Brian knows that the dog can’t last long without getting the wound cleaned up. He goes back to the camp and gets his first aid kit to sew up the dog’s wound. The next morning Brian noticed that the dog had a collar mark on her neck so Brian thinks the dog must have been someone’s pet. The dog must have ran away and doesn’t know how to get back to it’s owner.

Brian sets out to find where the dog came from. He finds a trail and follows it which leads him to a few cabins. He notices a nasty smell coming from one of the cabins. Brian follows the smell and is lead into one of them. The cabin has been destroyed by what looks like a bear. When Brian is looking around he sees in the back corner that his friend has been mauled by a bear and is died. Brian decides to set out to kill the bear for killing his friend.

If you are planning on reading this book I would recommend it to you especially if you are outdoorsy, because this book is about the outdoors. I thought it would be just a book about his time in the woods, but it is much more then that. It is action packed and it should appeal to you if you like anything about the great outdoors.(less)

Picking up immediately where Brian's Return leaves off, Brian is making his way through the Canadian wilderness to find a trapper family he made friends with during his winter ordeal. His travels are disrupted when he encounters a very much injured dog in his camp one night. He knows the dog must belong to someone, and her fairly serious injuries portend some kind of doom to Brian's finely honed instincts. He hopes he can solve the mystery before it may be too late.

Yeah, I didn't love this one either. The last two just seemed like two too many. Paulsen had a really good thing going with this Brian story for a few books, but by the time four and five roll around it starts to seem really self-indulgent (especially when he stated quite uncategorically and without qualification that the fourth would be the last Brian story). Paulsen seems to really show the chip on his shoulder with this one, going so far as to say that the human world was "ugly and wrong," and what people did with their lives and world was not good (completely, of course, ignoring any good that people DO do). Story-wise this was okay, still pretty flimsy and rambling. There was some real human danger in this one (besides the usual danger involving Brian) and even some unexpected violence (albeit all told after the fact), which made it interesting toward the end, but the characters really don't have much depth or interest, so it was hard for me to care about Brian's feelings toward them. I like the dog, and it added a sort of element on interest that the fourth book lacked, but it still seemed like half a story. Maybe the last two books should have been clumped together as one? They were certainly short enough to do that. Anyway, I don't love Brian like I did in the first few books, and his love affair with the out of doors has grown old by this time. The fun of Paulsen's Brian Saga in the first place was survival with little to no supplies, and becoming a man in extreme situations. I don't care as much when Brian has more food than he knows what to do with and a Kevlar canoe and matches and a tent. And then there's this thing with revenge and this ending and all works out in like two point five paragraphs and hurrah Brian loves the woods.

This series just went on too long. I might have liked this book better if it had been combined with the previous one. Adding a dog was a good idea, but it came too late, and I don't care as much about Brian by now. I think Gary Paulsen kind of went crazy with his adoration of the woods (and hatred of humans) and decided to capitalize on the success of his earlier Brian books to continue them with this. Bleh.(less)

This was not a very good book. The story didn't really get started until half way through the book and the climax was over in about 2 pages. The premise of the book was flimsy at best and what I mean by that is that it could have been a very good short 20 page story but to try and make a book out of it made it feel stretched.
