Scrappymags 3 word review: Run!!!!! (One word. Booooyah!)Shortest Summary Ever: 4 friends in their 40's acquiesce to the pleadings of their girl-pack leader (the pretty one, of course) and embark on an Outward Bound-like white water rafting trip in Maine. Bad stuff goes down. That's pretty much the basics.Rafting in my mind: Rafting in reality: What's good under the hood: The dynamic of the friendships between the girls is massively relatable. I could easily picture my college gal-pal c...
I really enjoyed this white river rapid raft ride.....GONE Wrong. Its now about survival! I loved that it was about 4 close middle-aged girlfriends just looking to get away and have an adventure! I thought the book was well written and kept my interest through out. If you like adrenaline while reading, I recommend!
Dangerous, unpredictable, beautiful, yet murky, are the waters that four women pushing forty take on during an annual vacation, trialling white-water rafting for the first time. This holiday forms the crux of the storyline of Erica Ferencik’s novel, The River at Night.Pia Zanderlee is the leader of a quartet of lifelong friends, who every year commit to a vacation together. It is Pia’s turn to choose the vacation and the thriller seeker in her cannot help but be drawn to the adventure of a white...
A group of close friends get together every year to go on new adventures. This time the four women get wrapped up in a daring river wilderness trip, which only one of them is looking forward to, but that all will go along with to escape the humdrum of normal life. Of course the trip turns into a nightmare mesh of wilderness meeting human depravity.The River of Night involves four women but is told singularly through the main character, Winnie, a recently divorced and middle-age woman who has a l...
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous this cover is? I was so excited when I received this in the mail; I kept hearing wonderful things about the story and just holding the book in my hands made me feel like I was going to get splashed by moving water. Early on, I saw many reviewers comparing this book to a modern day Deliverance featuring women on a girl’s trip instead of men. Confession: I’ve never seen the movie or read the book. I know, I know, it’s a classic, but somehow I ma...
I LOVE stories like this. Survival, river rafting, wilderness stuff. Give me more! This one does read like the female version of Deliverance in some ways, but I still enjoyed the heck out of it. Four women have been friends for years, they usually try and meet for a yearly adventure that lead friend Pia comes up with. They never are the trips that most of them had rather take..like lying in a cabana while drinking margarittas. Pia comes across as a force of nature for the other women and the...
3.5 Stars. GREAT LAST LINE!......but oh I wanted more FEAR FACTOR! A skeptical Winifred (Win) finally submits and accompanies three of her (young-middle-aged) longtime friends on a much needed weekend trip into the Maine wilderness for a little R&R white water rafting, and as you might suspect run into a bit of trouble beginning with the creepy dudes at the first stop. (No dueling banjo's here, but there are a few similarities to DELIVERANCE throughout the novel.) Anyway, as Win narrates, we
This was a middle-of-the-road read for me or maybe I should say middle-of-the-river; it didn't make the cut to be considered a new favorite, but it wasn’t completely awful either. This would be a B-movie, at best, with a cast of unknown actors that’s released straight to DVD.The author relies heavily on the seclusion of the setting, the middle of nowhere Maine, to incite fear and that’s fine in the beginning. It totally worked. There comes a point though were that’s no longer enough. Once the an...
My feelings are split on The River at Night. On the one hand, I was bored and didn’t care what happened to the characters. On the other hand, some suspense filled situations sucked me in. When four friends take a vacation in rural Maine, they have no idea that the trip will change their lives forever. Against her instincts, Wini agrees to accompany her three friends on an adventurous trip to rural Maine where they plan to go whitewater rafting on a dangerous river. Although Wini hates nature and...
Nature....outdoors....4 friends....white river rafting.... .....in Allagash wilderness in Maine. Here I go again ..... ANOTHER RIVER BOOK in my space. This makes my 3rd recently.I need to be careful not to start comparing. However....this is a VERY DIFFERENT type of 'river adventure' than David Vann's new novel, "Bright Air Black". Vann's book - gets the prize for darkness and complexity. Both books require life preserve jackets....but "The River Night", has much more 'fluff' with the 'Deliveran...
