Explanation As Books The River (Brian's Saga #2)

"We want you to do it again."

These words, spoken to Brian Robeson, will change his life. Two years earlier, Brian was stranded alone in the wilderness for fifty-four days with nothing but a small hatchet. Yet he survived. Now the government wants him to do it again to go back into the wilderness so that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques that kept Brian alive.

This time he won't be alone: Derek Holtzer, a government psychologist, will accompany him to observe and take notes. But during a freak storm, Derek is hit by lightning and falls into a coma. Their radio transmitter is dead. Brian is afraid that Derek will die of dehydration unless he can get him to a doctor. His only hope is to build a raft and try to transport Derek a hundred miles down the river to a trading post if the map he has is accurate.

Critique Of Books The River (Brian's Saga #2)

Mixed feelings on this one. The plot was somewhat repetitive from the first book of the series(Hatchet) and the primary plot mover was implausible. However, for the primary audience of this book, boys who are about 10 - 12 years old who like adventure/survival books, it again featured the value of self-reliance and ingenuity. As an aside - I do not ever plan to go into the Canadian Northwoods with Brian. Seems to be hazardous to one's health.

"The River" By Gary Paulsen is sort of like a follow up to his earlier award winning book "The Hatchet". In this epic thrilling book Brian, the main character, is headed back to the wilderness to do it all over again. Of course he's not doing this under his free will, the government has asked him to do go back so that they can study the techniques that kept Brian alive. These techniques will be used by the military and astronauts who need these skills to survive. But Brian isn't going alone, he

Since this is a kids book, I think you need to hear a review from a 13 year old like me. First of all I think you need to know I never liked reading books until I read the first book of the series, "Hatchet". What I liked about this series is that the main character is my age and he develops survival skills over time. There is a lot of action that is plotted outdoors. I am not going to spend time summarizing "The River", because it can be found on the back of the book, In "The River" I liked

"Well, to make it short, we want you to do it again."When last we left Brian, he had just come out the other end of a harrowing survivathon in the woods: fifty-four days, alone with only a hatchet, of channeling his inner hunter-gatherer. It came to be known in Brian's mind as The Timethe experience that changed him, molded him, transformed him. His conception of food, of time, of nature, the way he approaches the luxuries of modern lifeall had taken on a different tint from before.Brian, now

I think that this book was alright. I feel like Gary Paulsen has made better books. I feel like this is a let down compared to his other books but I still liked it. I still think that he is a good author but this book made me less impressed. The reason I didn't like it was because they made Brian do it again. He suffered through a tragic experience and they MADE HIM DO IT AGAIN OMG! I do understand that it had to be him though. That way he can teach the others how he did it the first time. Then

The book I read was The River by Gary Paulsen. It was about how Brian went back into the wilderness but not the same island as in The Hatchet. It was similar and close to the original but not the same one. I liked how the author had a long suspenseful time. I liked how he made it clear about what was going on throughout the book. He made the book very descriptive. I could picture a lot of what he was describing like when he was talking about the river and how there was a lot of turns. I also

I really liked all the emotions that the author showed Brian having in the book. It really portrayed how hard it was for Brian to overcome hunger and sleep. I thought it was really impressive how Brian made a raft out of logs and his jacket without any tools. I thought it was clever and stupid at the same time that Brian left almost all the supplies on the plane to make him and Derek truly feel the emotions of being stranded. At first I thought it was stupid for Brian to even go be stranded in a
