Written on May 22, 2007 Summary: the river by gary paulsen "The River" is a book in which a surprising turn of events puts Brian Robeson back into the wilderness fighting for his and somebody else's life. To start this book off a C.I.A. agent named Derek comes to Brian Robeson's house and says, "I want you to do it again". He is asking Brian to go back into the wilderness to teach of survival. After much thought Brian reluctantly agrees. Once they get to the lake where they will be staying Derek starts to unload all of their supplies. Brian tells him to stop. IF they have all of those things, it's not desperation, it's not survival. After walking around a little bit Brian says there will be a rainstorm soon. Sadly, they find out it is true. That rainstorm turns into a lightning storm. In which Derek gets hit by lightning and falls into a coma. Brian is scared he will die of dehydration so while trying to find a way out, he finds a map, and in finding that, he finds a chance. For Derek to live. Opinion: I thought this was a VERY good book. This book shows how even if you don't expect it, you can find answer to your problems. I recommend this book to boys who like adventure stories. The river is definitely worth reading to me. Written on April 25, 2007 Summary: The River Nick Wright mod2 The River The River is about Brian Robeson (from the Hatchet) going back into the wilderness. This time he goes with Derek Holtzer, a government psychologist, so Derek can learn how he survived and show astronauts and military survival techniques. During a storm Derek his put into a coma and Brian must find a way to get him to safety. My favorite part in this book is when the storm comes. Brian wakes up in the middle of the night and hears the thunder and lightening. He remembers the tornado but said there is no way he could go through such a bad storm twice in one life. When he reawakens all he can see is lightening. Brian told Derek to just stay low and don't get hit. Derek couldn't hear him and went into his bag. The lightening jumped of the tree, hit Derek's radio, which was there only way of communication with the real world and it was ruined, and hits Derek. Brian wakes the next day to find Derek in a coma. I think this is a good book for anyone. It teaches two main things. One is think about your decisions because they can come back to haunt you. Like when Brian told Derek to put all the stuff back in the plane he didn't have the gear when he needed it. Second, it teaches that when you need to take a risk to get a great reward you sometimes have to take it. Like Brian had to take the risk of bringing Derek on a raft one hundred miles down a river to a trading post. I think The River was a good book.  Written on April 8, 2007 Summary: Engaging reading for teenage boys I teach a middle school special education class and we have been doing a novel study on Gary Paulsen's books. We listen to the book on audio and follow along in the book. They love them. The story does take a while to get going, but once it does you're racing down "the river" with Brian Robeson. Peter Coyote's voice lends to the action and draws you in to the story. Written on December 14, 2006 Summary: This book is freakin sweet!!! 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!!! Written on November 3, 2006 Summary: Gary Paulsen the best auther ever I think that this book was one of the best book's ever in the whole collection of Hatchet and Brian's winter I sugest that you buy the book or even the collection of Hatchet and Brian's winter because it's worth buying it and it is a good book and collection for kid's and adult's. It is worth the money I guerent it because i started Hathet two days ago and now im on Brian's Hunt and I realy think that the book is the best. I also think that the auther Gary Paulsen is a god to the book world and that most of his story's they just look realy real and if he's looking at this now I say thank you for writeing all the books he has writeing.
