Good tension, but this book felt much shorter than others in the series, and I found it to be less-informative overall. I do appreciate that every book presents Brian with a very different survival scenario, however, if stranded in the woods with an incapacitated second person, I've basically learned that all you can really do is yeet them down a river and hope for the best.
This story was good but not as good as Hatchet but still entertaining. Doable in a day for adults.
The Hatchet story continues as Brian returns to the wilds, this time with a companion. He encounters new challenges and trials. A real page turner - read through in 2 hours...
This book is pretty kewl. It is filled with action and leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire time you are reading it. In the last book "The Hatchet" his plane crashed and he was forced to survive in the wilderness alone! In this book a government official named Derek comes to his house to ask him to do it all over again... just without the crashing part! So he agrees and they go out there and the guy is struck by lightning and is in a coma, and Brian knows the only way to save him is to build a raft to go down river to the trading post so he can get medical attention. The rest you will have to find out by yourself!!!
Gary Paulsen has made a wonderful tale of survival once again. This is a story filled with excitment and wonder and is extremely hard to put down. Anyone will enjoy reading this captivating tale of survival and will want to share it with everyone they know.
The River I really like this book. This book was about a man that got stranded in the wilderness for fifty-four days with nothing but a hatchet, yet threw all he still survived it. Now the Government wants him to do it again. They want him to go back to the wilderness so that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques that kept Brian alive. This time he won?t be alone though. A government psychologist will accompany him to observe and take notes. Then a freak storm came up. The Government guy gets hit by lightning and falls into a coma. Their radio is dead, Brian is afraid he will die of dehydration unless he can get him to a doctor. His only hope is to build a raft and try to transport him a hundred miles down the river to a trading post. And that is what he did.
