Summary: The River
Review: The River is a good book but not as good as the first book, The Hatchet. I would still recommend reading it. Brian recovered from his first adventure in the wilderness. It has been two years and some men come to ask him if he will help them survive in the woods. At first his mom says no but then Brian's mom decides it's okay because Brian convinces her that he should help the men. Derek, one of the men goes with Brian. Brian and Derek go out into another place in the wilderness. They pick berries for food, make a place to sleep, and are doing okay. But then Derek gets hit by lightening. Brian has to figure out how to save Derek. He finds a map in Derek's briefcase. He finds a river, drags Derek's body on a raft he built, and they float down the river. They finally make it to a trading post. If you like adventure and thrills, you will enjoy this book.

Summary: Thw River
Review: Over all I think the River is out of place in the series. I think that if The River was the third book in the series it would make more sense. If the book were in that order I wouldnt have been confused all the time. The book it self was ok though. It had a lot of adventure in it. I kept wanting to read more.

Summary: The River
Review: This was my favorite book during the summer. The book I read was The River by Gary Paulsen. He is one of my favorite authors. I think it only had about 100 pages, but it kept my attention. If I were to rate it I would give it 3 out of 5, whitch is pretty good. Two years ago, Brian Robinson was lost and stranded in the wilderness for fifty days with nothing but a smalll hatchet (small ax). He survived. Now the goverment wants hem to do it again-to go back into the wilderness so theat the military can learn the survival techniques that keep him alive. This time he wont be alone, Derek Holtzer, a goverment psychologist, will accompay him. But during a storm, Derek is hit by a bolt of lightming and falls into a coma. Their radio transmitter is dead. Brians onlu hope is to build a raft and try o transport Derek 100 miles down river to a traiding post-if the map he has is accurate. This is a very, very short book as I already mentioned in the 1st paragraph above. There is a good illustration, the picture of Brian on the raft and Derek on the floor of the raft, they are going down the steep and active rapid. There arnt many characters in the book so you wont get confused because there are only two main characters. I recomend this book to anybody who has read the Hatchet(the prequel to The River. It is very easy to read with a big faunt. Anybody who likes survival situation should read this, or any other book writtern by Gary Paulsen. These are the shortest chapters as well. Each chapter is only five pages. You would enjoy this book a lot more if you read Hatchet. So you know his personality better. If you read Hatchet and Brians Wineter what Ive done, is the best way to understand the book and what he has gone through, and how he huntes. Another interesting fact is that Brian Robinson has the same name as me (the auther who has just written theis butiful book review). I change my mind I give this book a 4 out of 5.

Summary: TOO SHORT!
Review: The river was way too short. I believe this is the worst book of the series. Don't get me wrong it was a pretty good book but no where near as good as the other three. Some parts of the book were to predictable like when Derrick gets struck by lightning or how brian told Derrick to leave the food, right there you could tell something was going to go wrong. The book ended to quickly and didn't explain much. Overall the book was pretty good but not what i expected.

Summary: The River by: Gary Paulsen
Review: This book was fantastic! Brian Robeson was stranded in the wilderness for 54 days and barely survived with a hatchet. Two years later, the government wants him to go on a similar adventure with a psychologist, Derek Holtzer. The reason being is because they want to find out how Brain survived this adventure so the government can teach astronauts and the military these same techniques. When a terrible storm comes and lightning strikes Derek and the radio transmitter leaving Derek in a coma, Brian is now again on his own. He is left with nothing. Not even the hatchet. The only way to survive is to build a raft and transport Derek a hundred miles down a river to a trading post where he can find help. That is, if the map is accurate.

Summary: this book stinks!
Review: The River is a terrible book! i really wouldn't recomend it to anybody! I mean Hatchet(the book before this one) is alright but this book is so boring. all that happens is Brian Robeson has to drift down a river on a raft with a man in a coma and wait until he gets to a trade post for someone to save him. the book is so short but it seems to last forever because it is so boring! As I as reading the book I though "okay this is the end finally" and i turned the page to find four more chapters of Brian floating down the river. Honestly don't read this book it is a total waste of time.
