Book Reviews of The River (A Yearling Book)
Book Review: The River
Summary: 5 Stars
Dark. Wet. Cold. Lonely. These are some words to describe the situation that Brian Robeson is in when he hesitantly agrees to live in the Canadian wilderness again. The River is the thrilling sequel to Gary Paulsen's Hatchet. Brian is confronted by three survival instructors who want him to go in the wilderness and teach them how to survive. Brian goes with a psychologist named Derek Holtzer. They survive rain and mosquitoes, but then there is a thunderstorm. Derek gets hit by a bolt of lightning and falls into a coma. It is then that Brian must find the courage to survive.I think that The River is a terrific book for all readers. It is action-packed and educational. If you liked this book, then you should read Hatchet or Brian's Winter. This series is awesome!

Gary Paulsen's novel the river, is a breath taking book.An example of how deep this book goes is when brian is asked to help the government. We want you to do it again."These words, spoken to Brian Robeson the main character, will change his life. Two years earlier, Brian was stranded alone in the wilderness for 54 days with nothing but a small hatchet. Yet he survived.Now the government wants him to go back into the wilderness so that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques that kept Brian alive. Soon the project backfires, though, leaving Brian with a wounded partner and a long river to navigate. His only hope is to build a raft and try to transport the injured man a hundred miles downstream to a trading post, if the map he has is accurate.Book Review: Thrilling Story!

Book Review: The River by: Gary Paulsen
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was fantastic! Brian Robeson was stranded in the wilderness for 54 days and barely survived with a hatchet. Two years later, the government wants him to go on a similar adventure with a psychologist, Derek Holtzer. The reason being is because they want to find out how Brain survived this adventure so the government can teach astronauts and the military these same techniques. When a terrible storm comes and lightning strikes Derek and the radio transmitter leaving Derek in a coma, Brian is now again on his own. He is left with nothing. Not even the hatchet. The only way to survive is to build a raft and transport Derek a hundred miles down a river to a trading post where he can find help. That is, if the map is accurate.Book Review: The River
