"[A] freewheeling and vividly written essay on the mysteries and longings of what it is to be human in a world of cynicism and loss and more significantly, what it is to be hopeful, to persevere, in the search for redemption and beauty. . . . The End of the River is a brilliant and instructive book, alive with the author's seditious intelligence, his inner compulsions and restlessness, the lot of which are wedded to his literal journey in a way that recalls the travel writing of one of Harvey's heroes, Sir Richard Burton." Globe & Mail
"[Brian Harvey] may have created a new literary genre: science travel writing . . . . We rarely expect a scientist to be a great wordsmith; frequently, we don’t expect him to be comprehensible. But this West Coast fish biologist writes entertainingly in a variety of modes. Travelogue, autobiography, history, and even fantasy romp alongside the biology." Quill & Quire
"Transports the reader to the riverbank. . . . Those who depend on the river are fortunate to have Harvey as their advocate." Victoria Times Colonist
