Book Review: This book is freakin sweet!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is pretty kewl. It is filled with action and leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire time you are reading it. In the last book "The Hatchet" his plane crashed and he was forced to survive in the wilderness alone! In this book a government official named Derek comes to his house to ask him to do it all over again... just without the crashing part! So he agrees and they go out there and the guy is struck by lightning and is in a coma, and Brian knows the only way to save him is to build a raft to go down river to the trading post so he can get medical attention. The rest you will have to find out by yourself!!!Book Review: The River

Two years before this story takes place, Brian Robeson survived in the wilderness with only a hatchet. Now the government wants him to do it again. After great persuasion he agrees to go with a man named Derek. Derek will take notes. Brian only goes with a knife. Derek gets hit by a bolt of lightning and falls into a coma. What can Brian do? He could stay, and Derek might die from thirst or he could build a raft and paddle down-river 100 mi. to a trading post and risk his own life. Read this to find out his choice and the adventure that goes with it. I really think you should read this exciting and highly adventurous book.Book Review: The River

I liked this book beause it was fun and exciting. Also when I read this story it kept my interest to keep on reading. I would recommend this book to someone who likes adventure stories because it's about how two people tried to survive in the wilderness alone.Book Review: A Great Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
The River by Gary Paulson is one of my favorite books. I can't believe that Brian Robeson would actually go back into the wild! Brian will be going with a man from the U.S government. He is also going with lots of equipment. When they get at the lake, Brian decides he will leave all the stuff on the plane. All was fine until a giant thunderstorm comes. The man gets hit by one and is put into a coma. Brian will have to travel down a river 100 miles to a trading post.
I liked this book because it had a ton of action and adventure. I hope you liked this book as much as I did!
