Summary: The River by: Gary Paulsen
Comment: 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: 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.

Summary: The River
Comment: The River is a book about an adult that had just gotten back from the fifty-four day stay from the plane crash. He uses the hatchet in the book The Hatchet for protection and food. In this book, he puts the hatchet in a glass case and leaves it there when he goes back to do the trip all over again. After about a month of planning with Derek, Derek came over one day to ask if Brian wanted to do it again, but only for survival for others. When they arrive at the Necktie Lake, Brian said to leave the supplies in the plane. So they build shelter and get food after being eaten by mosquitoes and a really bad storm. Then one night, another storm comes back, only worse. Derek, being not so smart at the time, stands up and gets struck by lightning blowing up the emergency radio they had for emergencies only. So, Brian has to build a raft and get Derek on and go one hundred miles to get Derek out of unconsciousness. Now that I have given you bit and pieces of this book, you should have fun reading it. Enjoy!
