Summary: The River
Comment: The River is the follow up to the popular book Hatchet. In this book, government officials ask Brian to relive his wilderness adventure so that they can learn his survival techniques. Brian is hesitant about going back to the place that he was so glad to get out of. However, he agrees to go so that others can learn what he did. A official from the government comes with him to take notes on what Brian did, and everthing seems to be going well. Unfortunatly, good fortune does not last forever. During a storm one night, the government official is hit with lightning and left in a comna. Knowing that the man will not survive very long, Brian decides to build a raft and float the man down the river to help. This story is about Brian's journey down river and the struggles he has to face. I only gave it three stars due to the fact that the story can easily be read in one sitting and lacks body. It seems that Gary Paulsin does not know when to stop writing about Brian, and this story proves that. It could have been better, but I would still recomend reading it if you enjoyed Hatchet.

Summary: Gary Paulsen's The River
Comment: Gary Paulsen The River, May 28, 2002
This book is the sequel to The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Two years ago, Brian Robeson was stranded alone in the wild when his plane crashed. He survived for about fifty days with only a small hatchet. In this book, the government wants Brian to show them what he did to survive in the wild. The government wants to use those skills and teach the military and other government branches the same survival skills that he used. At first, he seems relecuctant to go but later decides to show the government what he did because he knows that his skills could save lives. This time, Derek Holtzer, a psychologist, will accompany him to record all his daily activities. They go a few days with no trouble at all until a storm hits. Derek is hit by a lightning bolt that puts him in a coma and knocks out the radio. Brian must decide if he will stay and wait for help or build a raft and try to ride the river for over a hundred miles to a trading post. They have a map but that may be inaccurate. I thought this book was very good. The only things I didn1t like about it were that the first 25 pages were pretty slow and this book is only a hundred and thirty pages long making it a pretty short read. This book is filled with action making you not want to put the book down once you pick it up. Gary Paulsen does an excellent job in describing what it takes to survive out in the wilderness. I recommend that you read The Hatchet first to get a feel for Brian's personality. I gave this book four and a half stars out of five because I think Gary Paulsen could have made this book longer.
