Summary: I really liked the book, it was very iteresting to read.
Review: I liked how the book describes the characters, it really helped me out on my assignments. I disliked one of the characters in he story because they were a thief.But besides the characters I thought the book was very good.In the story there were friends and thy took up for one another, like when Mark got hurt at the dance.Bryon stayed with him until it was all over.I liked the part in chapter eight when they went to that house and they passed a blond chick who was reading and smoking grass, that really cracked me up.The book "To Kill A Mockingbird was similiar to this book.They both have different moods,but both have violence.I would recommend this book to anyone because it is very interesting and I'm sure it would be a enjoyment for you to read it.

Summary: this book was a O.K. book.
Review: I like this book a little bit but I did not expect it to end the way it did. I dislike this book in a way because the way the book ended was stupid. I did not like the way they all split up. At the end of the story everyone sounded misriable except for Ponyboy and Cathy because they started dating. It did not sound right when Bryan said that he called the police on Mark. I understand why he did it though. His brother did something stupid and messed up a family's whole life forever. Have of the people in this shoud bave been smart and thought about they was going to do before they did.

Summary: I think the book was great and exciting.
Review: That Was Then This Is Now I liked the book because it was very dramatic,and exciting. I didn't dislike anything about the book. I really like the part when Mike was telling the story about how he ended up in the hospitol. I also liked the part when Bryon and Cathy found M&M in that hippie house after he had that bad acid trip. I think "That Was Then This Is Now" was better than "The Outsiders" because it just kept me in the book. It was just exciting and very dramatic I would highly recommed this book to anyone who loves to read. By. Tremell Noble

Summary: This book is real good.
Review: What I liked about the book is that it was very well expressed like when Bryon found out that Mark was selling these drug pills. He was really shocked and mad when he found out. He felt like he lost his best friend, his only brother. But what I didn't like about the book was that they put you in a real tough position. You seem like you got to choose between your best friend or your girlfriend, but at the end it will turn out bad anyways. I thought that this book was really good. This book(to me) seemed to be better than the Outsiders. They seem to have dramatic and action scenes up in it. They had a lot of choices they make. They also get into a lot of fights, not a lot but enough. The Outsiders seem to have a lot of action scenes only, but they do have some dramatic scenes. Yes, I would recommend this book to somebody else because I think other people might enjoy it as much as i did. This book will probably encourage other people to read more or read more S.E. Hinton books.

Summary: The book was very good.
Review: I thought the book brought a real perspective on things that are happening today. I liked the way they tied charactersfrom "The Outsiders" into this book. It seems to me that S.E. Hinton's books all wind into one big story. I like the book a lot, except at the end of the book I felt I was dropped off a cliff. I have a lot of thoughts still in my head that are unanswered. All in all I would recommend "That Was Then This Is Now" to others.

Summary: Excellant moral book!
Review: Although I enjoyed The Outsiders better, I still thought this book was good. I felt it had a good overal moral: friendships change. As strange as it is, I liked how the ending wasn't happy and very conclusive. I felt that the ending couldn't have been better. After reading this book, I just really felt like I had to think about it, and I like books that do that.

Summary: A very intence book in which kept me on the edge
Review: The book "That Was Then This Is Now" was a very good book in which kept me on the edge.This was the kind of book that I enjoyed specifically because it kept me on the edge, and really made me think. It made me think about life, my friends, my neighborhood. I liked the book all until the ending. I am the type of person who likes happy endings, and the fact that Mark and Bryon didn't become friends again upset me.I think that S.E. Hinton is a very good writer. She always seems to have her books in a very good format and in the perfect wordings for our age group.I just think that with this kind of story with best friends (almost brothers) there should be a happy ending. I also didn't like how Bryon and Cathy broke up, but if they had to break up I am glad that she ended up woth Ponyboy Curtis.

Summary: That was then this is now is spectacular!!!!!
Review: This book is great. It is not afraid to take a stab at the real life of 16 year old's back then. the emotinal roller coaster then sends you spinning in your seat. A great book that kids around 10-16 should read. Just outstanding.

Summary: It was great book to read on your own
Review: This was a great book. People of all ages should read it at one time. I loved the book. The writer was not afrid to say what life was like.
