"Just for emergencies," Derek had explained. "In
case we need them--we have everything we need."
And there it was, he thought. They had everything they needed and it ruined it all, made the whole trip worthless. It wouldn't be the same.”
My initial reaction coming out of this book was that I enjoyed it even more than I did Hatchet. Not that I loved hatchet all too much, I thought it was a really well done book, but I thought this dove much deeper into the psychology of Brian and the peril of his situation of having to care for Derek and himself just interested in me more personally. It was very short into the point, it was a very quick read and that it wraps up very quickly as well. Everything about this book just seems a little rushed, but that’s not necessarily a negative thing. I think there’s a lot of fat that was trimmed to a condensed version of Hatchet. While I knew Brian would make it out okay, the tension came from not knowing what would happen with Derek, and the psychology of Brian having to deal with the life of another human in the wilderness. I randomly decided to read all five books in the series, and with how good this one is, I’m excited to see how the rest fare.

I don't really remember the book, but I do remember the movie. At one point the main character had to get back in the plane so that he could get the survival kit. And there was a close up of the pilot and for some reason his eye had popped out of his socket. And that is what I think of anytime that I see this book.
Honestly better than Hatchet but I’m probably going to read them all for nostalgia. I realize I’m not the target audience lol
A great sequel to part 1. A read it on a Saturday evening. However, in the beginning I found some things a little over the top like that they only wanted Brian for the job. Still, this made a good read for a couple of hours and I enjoyed it. I would be happy to read part 3 of this series.
