Summary: The book wasn't that great
Review: I don't think the book was that great because it was really slow and unexciting. The only reason why it was an okay is because that's how life really is out in bad towns like that. And I don't like how they don't tell you where they live. That is my reveiw with Rumble Fish.

Review: This book is about a kid named Rusty James. He is growing up in a bad neighberhood on the wrong side of the river. He is a tough kid and he is always trying to be as tough as his brother. All that happened in the book was fighting. It just kept repeating. I thought the book was going to be good but it got very boring.

Review: I'm not a great fan of teenage rite-of-passage books, but this one blew me away. The story is so beautifully developed, veering between comedy and tragedy. It tells the story of Rusty-James, a tough street punk with a "bad habit of getting attached to people". Despite the everyday violence of his life, he remains fundamentally an innocent, living in the shadow of his astonishing and enigmatic older brother the Motorcycle Boy, whom he admires and emulates, but is unable to understand. But something is close to breaking in the Motorcycle Boy, drawing the book to a shocking and terrible climax. I found this the darkest of Hinton's novels, and the best.The tale is multi-layered, with the voice of the Motorcycle Boy gradually breaking through Rusty's to express the book's underlying truths. Despite the shortness of the book, I found I could truly feel for Rusty-James and his world. The mysterious Motorcycle Boy, however, commands the piece as the wise, wild, tragically alone superhero of the streets. Rarely have I encountered a character more compelling. Heart-breaking.
