Rating: Summary: this is a great book to read in one day. Review: I enjoyed reading this book, but I didn't really like theending. It was unbelievable that Bryon would do such a thing to theclosest person in his life. I find this twist to be unrealistic especially since Bryon knew Mark would quit selling if he asked him to. Overall though it is a great book to read if you're on the road. It really makes you think of the people you care about most and what you would do in similar situations.
Rating: Summary: Dumb! Review: Pointless I know that this is how some of the world lives but don't read it if you want to stay in a happy mood because at the the end the main charracter has nothing left to live for.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books I have ever read!!!!!!!! ***** Review: I read this book in one night. It was so good. It made me think about how "gangsters" and druggies lived, and realized that they are people, too. They just lived tougher lives. Violence and crime were everyday things, and the boys who lived in it even got excited over it. It is like the author is kind of trying to say "You think your life is tough?" This book had a really cool plot right up until its end. I recommend this book to every teen.
Rating: Summary: That Was Then, This Is Now- JUST PLAIN GREAT!! Review: I loved this book and you would to. It is the second best book I have ever read but only because I read The Outsiders first, though you should read The Outsiders first because you would understand That Was Then, This Is Now much better. Ever since I read The Outsiders I knew I would LLOOVVEE all of S.E. Hintons books (and and so far after reading thoes two and Taming the Star Runner I do). In conclusion I reccmond this book (and The Outsiders) to ANY teen, and just about every teen can relate to them. :-) :-) :-)
Rating: Summary: The book was good Review: I like the book "That Was Then, This Is Now" because it was a good book.Some of the things that I like about it was the fighting, like when the Shepard gang kept beating up M+M. One of the things that I disliked about the book is when Charlie got shot in the eye. I would recommend this book to anyone.
Rating: Summary: I think this book was interesting and enjoyable. Review: What I like about the book is that my favorite character Ponyboy was in it.This book also gave me a challenge in reading on the comprehension level.I dislike the book because of the conflict between Mike and Connie.I didn't think that was right for Connie to do that to someone who tried to help her.Yes i would recommend the "Outsiders" and "That was then this is now" to anyone because these two books were very challenging and enjoyable.
Rating: Summary: Interesting and something I can relate to. Review: That was then,This is now was an excellent book.Truthfully I enjoyed reading it.I think it was an excellent book because I could relate to some of the characters.For example M'M I understand him not wanting to be violent being violent causes to much trouble.Mike I understood him not hating blacks even after what connie had done to him.I especially liked when Bryran and Mark went to visit Mike at the hospital.I liked hearing the story that Mike told Bryran and Mark.I disliked what happened to Mike I think that was wrong after all he had done for her.I also disliked the way Charlie died.He died doing something good but those two men should have never played with Bryran and Mark.It was just a game it didn't have to end in violence.Honestly i would recommend this book to anyone to teach them not to make the same mistakes some of the characters made and the results of bad actions and violence.
Rating: Summary: it was very good Review: What I really liked about this book is that how mike and bryon husle people in pool games and when angela shepard was playing curtis and bryon thats what I liked about the book.
Rating: Summary: It was good. Review: I liked the part when those dudes were trying to beat up M&M and Mark and Byron came to his rescue.I disliked the book because it was written in the same form as the Outsiders book.
Rating: Summary: Good action. Review: I like the book because of the action and the way bryon started to see his real feeling about cathy. but I did not like the way the boo ended. I did not think bryon was going to tell on mark.
