At first I was a bit hesitant to read this book
because, although people say, "Don't
judge a book by its cover," most of us do. I walk
into a bookstore and pick up a book. If the cover looks like a romance novel
(I don't like romantic stories), I probably would
put it right back where I got it. Agree? Well, that's
just about what I did with this one, although this book is not a romance.
Judging by its back cover, I thought that the book was for a slightly
younger reader, and I wouldn't enjoy it. Wrong! The Raging River, by Pam Withers, was an excellent book. It was a perfect mixture of emotions and characters, giving it a believable twist. Most people who have never been white-water rafting would not appreciate the character's feelings, but Pam Withers has described everything so well that the reader is plunked right down into the character's shoes. I thought The Raging River was an excellent book, despite my original reluctance to read it. I would recommend it to anyone ages 9-12. I consider this book a four star novel because although it is a very good book, it's not one I will add to my shelf to read over and over again. RATING: |
