by Reach Savage. Slightly disappointed in this book....it had such great potential. A guy and his son take a float plane into the Ontario wilderness....the plane wrecks...the guy and his son are separated in the crash for a week....finally find each other and make it out a month later. Sounds great, right? The author spends more time giving his protagonists MacGyver-like skills (sure, I can make a rope out of blade of grass!!) with repetitive dialogue from both father and son....IMHO, not very believable or realistic.
There is a lot of narrative describing the flora and fauna that made it interesting enough to read to the end. I'd like to hear other opinions from those who have read it.

That's to bad. That would have been a good read.
My wife was a small school librarian in our area. She brought home a book for me to read one day. I'm thinking, great a kids book, where's my Louis L'Amour books. The books name was, Hatchet by Gary Paulson. It was about a boy 13 years old who was flying to meet his father in the Canadian wilderness. Plane crashes. He has to survive.
Sounds allot like your book. I will admit, once I started to read it I couldn't put it down. One of the best books I've read.
