Summary: not sure
Review: This a good read. But if someone hadn't read Brian's Winter they wouldn't of known he had spent the winter by the lake. It's good though. It brings in more of an understanding of Brian and the way he feels about the north woods. The River chapters themselves should of been longer. I wanted more of the river journey.

Summary: The River Review by Nykolas Connors
Review: This book in my mind, is an adventorous and a realistic book. This book had alot of cliff hangers.This book left you waiting to read on for Example: Brain fell off the raft and had to chance it and every turn he could not find it. I did not like how that the Author Gary Paulson did not include alot of wild life. They were only in the wildreness and they did not even include any animals. If I was Gary Paulson I would of made them foght off a bear of some other kind of wild animal. The other part that I would change is let them ride of two more miles. I liked that Gary Paulson did a great job on the setting. For Example: When they found there fort. I would read any of the books that Gary Paulson writes. I think who ever likes adventorous or realistic books would love this book and also read Hatchet.

Summary: The River by Gary Paulsen
Review: If you liked the book "Hatchet" your going to love this book."The River" is a riveting companion to Hatchet because Brian has to go back again to the wilderness so that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques that kept him alive for almost 4 months. Brian is a little nervous about reviving all that he lived two years ago, but Brian then recalls all the lives he could safe if he showed his surviving techniques. This time Brian wont be alone because Derek Holtzer, a government psycologist will accompany him. But during a freak storm, Derek is hit by lightning and falls into a coma. Brian only has a hope of taking Derek a hundre miles down the river to a trading post-although he does not know if his map is accurate.

Summary: The River
Review: This book is about a boy,Brian who was in a plane crash and had to surive in the wilderness for 54 days until he was rescued. That was the first book Hatchet. One year later three men came to Brian's house and asked him if he wanted to go back in wilderness. Brian did not know at first but then he said, "ok,I will go". One of the men said a man named Derek will be going with you, he is a psychologist, Brian felt much safer. When Brian and Derek got to the lake there was a storm. While they were sleeping the storm went on. Derek went to grab the radio they brought and he got struck by lightning. Brian had to do something so he built a raft and sailed down the river trying to get help for Derek. The waves were so big they knocked Derek and Brian right off the raft. Do you think Derek will live? Well, find out. It is an interesting book.

Review: THE RIVER is a really good book. It's about a boy named Brian.Three guys ask him if he would like to go back to the Canadian woods, to help people learn how to live if they were left there with nothing the way he was a year before.Finally Brian says yes,when Brian gets to the lake with Derek, he thinks he won't have to teach.But what's coming up?He is going to realize things are really not.Ithought it was kind of a bad thing,for Brian to go back to that place.To try to survive all over again.He said hehad changed and not in all good ways since his rescue.Why would he do this to himself again?If you like adventure and books that make you think then you should read The RIVER!
