The River by Peter Heller
3.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This book is highly recommended and has been called “suspenseful” and a “thriller.” I didn’t feel that way about this book, but it was beautifully written with minimal dialogue. The setting of The River was a character itself, and Heller uses descriptions of the human characters actions and behavior to move the story along.

A story of Man vs Nature, Man vs Man. This was a very minimalist story, which was something different for me, but I appreciated the intention behind it.
