  <default_description>This is the classic tale of four men caught in a&#160;&#160;primitive and violent test of&#160;&#160;manhood.

The setting is the Georgia wilderness, where the&#160;&#160;states most remote white-water river awaits. In&#160;&#160;the thundering froth of that river, in its&#160;&#160;echoing stone canyons, four men on a canoe trip&#160;&#160;discover a freedom and exhilaration beyond compare.&#160;&#160;And then, in a moment of horror, the adventure turns&#160;&#160;into a struggle for survival as one man becomes a&#160;&#160;human hunter who is offered his own harrowing&#160;&#160;deliverance.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The old rule of 'read the book and see the film' didn't apply in this case.  Recently I have joked a lot with some good friends about the movie, but, in reflection, I remembered many layers from this film.<br/><br/>The push and pull of the social classes, modern life clashing with a society that h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63685115">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read the book, then see the movie... or do neither... or either.  Dickey was a poet.  But he wrote this book, and the book is good and does what good poetry does (though it is not poetry); it implies and suggests more than it can say, literally.  Oh, you can talk about the down river allegory and wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32020363">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ah...&quot;Deliverance.&quot;  I thought it'd be fun to read the novel that produced a well-known movie that is mostly known for 2 things, a creepy banjo-playing albino and a man-on-man rape scene.  I mean how could I not enjoy this book!?!?<br/><br/>Shockingly, it was fairly dull though I think p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30412463">more...</a>]]></body>
