Brian's Return by Gary Paulsen

3.0

There was really only one thing wrong with this book, and it's a pretty big problem: there was no central conflict. The first half of the book explains how Brian is trying to readjust to a normal life. The second half is him paddling down rivers and lakes for several days. That's really all this book is. For what it was, it was well-written. It was a relaxing read and it showed how much Brian has grown as a person, but it wasn't nearly as good as the previous books in the series.

I don't remember feeling this way when I first read it, probably because I was very young. But after reading it again now, I think it's definitely the weakest of the series. Unless the next one is worse. I really don't remember. I hope it's not.
