“The River” began with a sweet father-son scene, then pulled
me into with the story of Gabriel and the tragic loss of his father.
The thread
of the story flowed like a river, moving the characters along, churning with
rapids, then streaming from shallow, light moods to deep emotions. The frequent
point-of-view shifts pulled me out of the story from time to time, but I kept
going back to see how little Gabriel was managing. Author Michael Neale made me
care about the characters and their struggles.
I guessed the plot twist before
the end, but it didn’t dampen my interest in the story.
