“It was terrifying and unutterably beautiful”.PETER HELLER
✍ REVIEW & OPINIONS Peter Heller’s book The River: A novel
The River is a beauty-of-nature/cruelty-of-humanity hybrid, but this time he leans into the thriller aspect of the tale, with gripping results…
Former Outside magazine editor Heller puts his knowledge of canoeing and currents to fascinating use.
He has created indelible characters in Wynn and Jack, pals who are almost exact opposites: the former a bearish galoot who’s convinced that people are basically good, and the latter a pessimist who’s convinced that their only hope for salvation is to paddle as fast as they can.
Let’s know now the opinions & reviews of readers and critics about book THE RIVER, of Peter Heller.
This is one of the opinions that I have read and that I liked the most from the book Peter Heller The River: A novel :
As much an allegory about man’s impact on the Earth as it is an adventure story…
Heller’s prose is at its best when he’s describing the natural world.
His sometimes short, clipped sentences unfurl into long, lyrical lines, each syllable stretching toward near-poetry as he describes the landscapes.
Heller’s melodious renderings are drawn from a lifetime of not just witnessing nature, but of actively paying attention to how it is woven together.

✍ SUMMARY & SYNOPSIS & BLURB of Peter Heller’s book The River: A novel
We now come to a summary and synopsis of the latest book by Peter Heller, THE RIVER.
From the best-selling author of The Dog Stars, this is a masterful tale of wilderness survival in the vein of Into the Wild and The Call of the Wild.
It is the story of two college friends on a wilderness canoe trip, a gripping tale of a friendship tested by fire, whitewater, starvation, and brutality.
Wynn and Jack have been best friends since freshman orientation, bonded by their shared love of mountains, books, and fishing.
Wynn is a gentle giant, a Vermont kid never happier than when his feet are in the water.
Jack is smaller, more rugged, raised on a ranch in Colorado where sleeping under the stars and cooking on a fire came as naturally to him as breathing.
When they decide to canoe the Maskwa River in Northern Canada, they anticipate long days of leisurely paddles and picking blueberries, and nights of stargazing and paperback western novels.
But a wildfire making its way across the forest adds unexpected urgency to the journey. When they hear a man and woman arguing on the fog-shrouded riverbank and decide to warn them about the fire, their search for the pair turns up nothing and no one. But: the next day a man appears on the river, paddling alone.
Is this the man they heard?
And if he is, where is the woman? From this charged beginning, master storyteller Peter Heller, unspools a head-long, heart-pounding story of desperate wilderness survival.
✍ QUOTES from the book Peter Heller’s The River: A novel
These are the best quotes or phrases from the book The River: A novel de Peter Heller:
“nd sometimes the places that happenstance sent you weren’t as vague as a direction, sometimes they were as steel-cast and unforgiving as a set of rails.
And sometimes the only way to jump the rails and set a new course was to have a wreck.”PETER HELLER - THE RIVER
“Isn’t that strange?
To be able to feel so much tenderness for a person, and I did, and powerful attraction, sometimes, and yet feel no love. It seems cruel, almost monstrous.
I mean I can love a bug. I have watched a spider weaving her web in the evening, in the young alder branches along the river, and I have loved her.
Truly.
Or a small moth trying to beat her way off the water of a dark pool, her soaked wings stuck to the surface as if by glue.
And gently slid a leaf beneath her and lifted her to the ground, praying that her wings would dry without damage.
I’ve done that. And yet I could not love my wife.”PETER HELLER - THE RIVER
