Reader reviews for Deliverance

From the publisher

"You're hooked, you feel every cut, grope up every cliff, swallow water with every spill of the canoe, sweat with every draw of the bowstring. Wholly absorbing [and] dramatic."--Harper's Magazine

Praise for Deliverance

"Once read, never forgotten."--Newport News Daily Press

"Freshly and intensely alive . . . with questions that haunt modern urban man."--Southern Review

"A fine and honest book that hits the reader's mind with the sting of a baseball just caught in the hand."--The Nation

"[James Dickey's] language has descriptive power not often matched in contemporary American writing."--Time

"A harrowing trip few readers will forget."--Asheville Citizen-Times

A novel that will curl your toes . . . Dickey's canoe rides to the limits of dramatic tension.--New York Times Book Review
