Book Reviews of The River (A Yearling Book)
Book Review: An EXCITING ride on a raft down a river!
Summary: 5 Stars
The River is a very thrilling and bone-chilling story about a boy named Brian. Brian adventures with a friend at a very lonely place with nobody else to talk to. When Brian's friend goes into a coma all the adventures begin as Brian rafts his way down a river to look for help. I advise everyone to read The River, because Gary Paulsen keeps you into it. You never will want to set your book down. If you do take my advice and you like this book you should read other books in the series. Some examples of books in the series by Gary Paulsen are Brian's Winter and Hatchet.Book Review: Best Of Gary Paulsen's Books

Summary: 5 Stars
The River was a great book, an attention getter. Gary Paulsen brings to life his main character Brian, a teenager, and takes you on a wilderness survival adventure set in modern times. I read the book after my 10 year old son received it as a Christmas gift, he is adhd and it is very difficult for him to read a whole book. I encouraged him to read the adventure and he loved it. He read the entire book and then asked for additional publications by Gary Paulsen. The author has a great ability to capture the imagination and take it to new heighths.Book Review: Sam's review of The River

Summary: 5 Stars
The River is a wonderful book about Brian's return to the North Canadian woods in which he previously survived for 54 days armed only with a hatchet. This time he goes with Derek and 2 knives. Derek is a teacher who teaches people how to survive in the woods with a limited amount of items. He wants to see how Brian survived when he was alone in the woods. Then Derek could teach his pupils about surviving like Brian did. This was a great book. My favorite part is when Derek gets gets in a coma.
