Summary: THE BESEST BOOK EVER!
Review: The River is about a boy who gets stranded out in the woods and is now asked by some scientists to live out in the woods again and take tests on how to survive in the wilderness. In the book I liked all of the action and the suspense. You never know what is going to happen next. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes lots of suspense and wilderness stories.

Summary: This book is the GREAT.
Review: The River is a great book to read because there is so much going on that you can't stop. The book has a lot of challenges Brian has to overcome. I also thought it was great because it tells what he is thinking and his ideas. I didn't like the ending though because he got out of trouble so easily, but it was still a great book to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the wilderness, adventures, problem solving, and if they liked the book hatchet. This is also a good book to read if you liked the book hatchet.

Summary: From this point, its still good.
Review: I'm glad that the author, Gary Paulsen, didn't quite mess up at this point. The River is still a quality book, and fortunately the idea that the main character, Brian Robeson, is getting misfortunes happen to him in the woods is not yet completely cheesy. It still manages to deliver a sufficient plotline that has interesting twists and turns, not yet ruining the series for the average reader.

Summary: Concerning 'Hatchet', 'Brian's Winter' and 'the River':
Review: To My Readers,I thought that, having looked over some of the comments and reviews sent to Amazon.com., my books 'Hatchet', 'Brian's Winter' and the River' did not go down very well. I admit that the three books often lacked description and often a believable plot; however, repetitions of words (ie. Divorce, the Secret) were there to emphasize Brian's situation and feelings, and I have found through writing experience that short sentences can provide much information. As I am a veteran of the excruciating Iditarod 1,049 mile dog sled race across the state of Alaska, I found along the way that unusual occurences and happenings were not altogether non-existant. My famiy enjoyed 'Hatchet' and its two sequels, and I hope that some of the more optimistic readers will also. Gary Paulsen.

Summary: It was good but too much like Hachet.
Review: I thought it was well writen with detail.It was like Hachet too. Gary Paulsen is a writer and this is a good adventure book.I like the other books he has written better like Winter Dance and Woodsong.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: Phil, Matt and Brandon thought The River was fantastic because it was non-stop action. Brian was not alone in The River.
