Summary: The River
Review: The River was a good book but I don't think it deserved 5 stars because some things weren't that clear at the end of the chapters. The book was interseting and all but not the best book I have ever read. The book had a lot of details which made it better then I thought it would be. I personal thought it could of told more about after they got to the trading post and got help. IT could of told us about whan he got home and talked about that in atleast one chapter.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The River
Review: The book I am reviewing is The River by Gary Paulsen. This book is the sequal to Hatchet, another great book from Gary Paulsen. The story is about Brian, the main character, is asked to go on a survival journey so that they can explain how he did it the first time. Brian decides he'd do it but problems occur at this journey. Derek, the guy that's taking notes about how Brian's surviving in the wild forests of Canada. The thing that I like most about the book is that it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The thing that I dislike about the book is that at some parts I was unclear of what was happening.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the river
Review: This book is about a boy who was stranded out in the wilderness for fifty-four days alone with a hatchet. Then some guys ask him if he wouldd do it again. The airplane drops them off on a lake. Brian has to build a raft to get Derek to help. This book is a good book to read. This book is a good book to read if you like the outdoors.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not a Great Sequel
Review: In this book, Brian Robeson returns to the same wilderness area that he lived in in the prequel, Hatchet. But this tiim eis a little different. The government has sent him along with a government psychologist, Derek, who will put together a survival course for the military based on Brian's survival tecniques. But a storm suddenly approaches and lightning strikes Derek - causing him to fall into a coma. Brian knows that Derek will suffer from dehydration unless he can get him to a hosiptal. What will he do?

This book was pretty good, but not worth buying. It's quite short and not too exciting. Hatchet deserves more praise than this sequel.

Rating: 4 stars

He almost died on that trip and then this man named Derek, wanted him to do it again. So he could can study how. Derek is goal is to help people that get stranded so they know how to survive. But once for one person is enough, don't you think? If you like survival, then this book is for you. I hope you find out what Bryan's decision is and if it was the right one.

Summary: the river
Review: Again! Brian's at the spot once again! This book is called "The River". The thrilling sequel to "Brian's Winter" and "Hatchet". Brian's at the "L" shaped lake again. This time he's got a member of the press. Brian still has his trademark hatchet. The River is a great book. It is especially interesting for anyone who likes adventure and survival in the wilderness. I learned a lot about specific survival skills because I "watched" Brian do things such as making a bow and arrows to get food or to protect himself. I was amazed by his combination of luck and hard work and ingenuity. It inspired me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book review by a 9 year old boy
Review: Me and my mom read this book because we read Hatchet. Now we want to read The River. It was so great. Me and my mom had our faces in the book. Me and my mom read it in my room. When we were done we started to read Brian's Winter and we're almost done.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: The River
Review: I thought that the River was a good book because it realy makes you think about if you got lost in the woods.Plus Ihad read both of the other books like Brains Winter and Hatchet.This book is about brain and Derek.Derek wants Brain to go back to the place were he got lost and show other people how to servive the woods alone.But to do this Brain has to convince his mom and dad to let him go back.They let him go and he does what he did before.Iwould recomend this book to people that like adventure books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE RIVER
Review: 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.
