A group of friends in search of the wilderness experience that is missing in their big-city lives get a lot more than they bargained for when canoeing one weekend on the Chattooga River in Georgia.

James Dickey's brilliant, horrific account of what occurred on the trip and its aftermath was to become one of the iconic films of the twentieth century.

Officer Dibble

Trespassers will be prosecuted

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a frightening book. In particular, the theme of an alien country within a country. The narrator can spot 'to the block', precisely where 'suburbia ended and red-neck South began'. Yet within an ordinary afternoon's car ride, the protagonists enter a country frighteningly different and unsafe.

It is unsafe from both the moral outlook of it's inhabitants and from the power of Nature. Ed and his friends live in a country where all decisions are made by white middle class men and they seek 'the promise of other things'. In this other country, the game is played by different rules and they are not the masters.

Given the publication date, it is tempting to draw analogies with the Vietnam War. One wonders about the novel's later influence: 'The Deer Hunter' anyone? Or 'Never get out the boat!' in Apocalypse Now?

I found the ending oddly ambivalent and sensed, rightly or wrongly, that Mr Dickey was unsure of how to end it.

Good story so far

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2018

Good story so far, not finished it yet, slightly different from the movie (from what I remember), in point of fact makes me want to revisit the movie.
I am surprised to tell the truth with all the remakes of movies nobody has done one of this?

classic book and film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2013

bought this book to research how James Dickey managed to make the story so compelling. As an author I am constantly trying to learn from the masters of my genre. I loved the film, even though it was so cruel and shocking, and the book was just as good.

Do NOT mess with these men

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2014

Verified Purchase

A wonderful film revealing the true nature of mountain men in the USA when "smart city types" decide to go native.
By the way the service from the seller was excellent.
