Did not deliver. Overhyped. Would have been on the edge of my seat suspended with suspense if the most shocking part of the plot wasn't spoiled both on the back cover and the large-print capital lettered reviews on the inside cover! This is not the kind of survival struggle that haunts my nightmares and wet dreams. Still, good enough to read in one sitting. EDIT upon further reflection: (SPOILER ALERT) . . . I cannot get over thinking about this book as an accidental study in 'manliness,' the idea/ideal. The four main characters in this novel include a hunter warrior strongman; his quieter, envious sidekick (the narrator); a respectable but goody goody guy; and a whiny, weak wimp. Of course it is the wimp who is raped (randomly in the woods by strangers). Deliverance could have been such an amazing book if it had dealt with this rape and the gendered effects of that kind of trauma. What does it mean for a man, in pursuit of 'manly adventure,' to be raped? How does a group of men deal or not deal with it, can they overcome stigma and shame, and if not, what are the effects of not acknowledging the trauma? But instead, Deliverance kind of boringly reinforced prevailing cultural norms-- the already 'girly' man is further emasculated, and his experience is quickly buried by typical adventure story fare: physical (not sexualized) pain, vengeance and the glorious sort of violence, and rafting down a crazy fuckin river. What a waste of an incredible plot device!
