Summary: friendship
Review: This book follows the friendship of Mark and Bryon. The book mentions Ponyboy Curtis, a greaser in the Outsiders, but focuses a lot more on the two of them. The rivalry between grease and Soc is dying out. The book also includes Bryon's girlfriend, Cathy, and her brother, M&M, who is a hippie. The book shows the bonds between Mark and Bryon, but readers are in for a shocking ending. The ending was different from other S.E. Hinton books. A good book for anyone who is interested in the changes that happen in society after the Outsiders. Or if you're simply interested in another story altogether.

Summary: drivel
Review: This embodies all that is wrong in literature these days.
Trite and boring, and in no way resembles childhood. Make this book go away. Have children expand their minds reading quality, instead of the "latest" acclaimed author.

Summary: A terrific book on growing up and growing apart
Review: I read That Was Then This Is Now for school. I had to do a book report and I picked this because I liked the Outsiders also by S.E. Hinton. Well, this was even better! The book is about two boys named Mark and Bryon, who have been friends their whole lives. But Mark gets involved in some business Bryon doesn't approve of, and Bryon is faced with a decision that could destroy the friendship. A really great book. I've read it over and over. Read this if you have a chance.

Summary: Great Depiction of Realit y
Review: That Was Then, This Is Now is a story about two best friends who are like brothers to each other. Ever since Mark's parents died, he has been living with his best friend Bryon. Recently, however, something seems to be changing between them, and Bryon can't figure out what it is. Bryon is also tired of the street fights, which have become commonplace to the boys, but Mark seems unable to quit. Ms. Hinton's beautiful book is a great depiction of life in the real world. The ending really surprised me. The issues presented in the book are happening to many even in this day in age. I believe it's important that we as a society recognize these problems and work together to solve them. Recognizing the matter is the first step of the process and this book does a great job of shedding some light on this very real and dark subject.

Summary: TRUE LIFE BOOK
Review: If you have ever read THE OUTSIDERS by Hinton you would love this book. It portrays the real life of teens living in society today. The charcaters in the book face tough decisions at every turn such as drinking, drugs, friends, and love. I think this is a great book for anyone.

Summary: That was then, this is now...
Review: What can I say about this book... Well, it was a great and my favorite up to this point. Most of my favorite books are 1970's High School books. I read this book for my 7th grade homeroom. At first when I was choosing what book to read in my homeroom book shelf I would just pass it by, not caring about it, catching my eye from time to time, but not enough to make me read it. One day I had nothing to read just grabbed it off the shelf and decided it was good enough to satisfy me for the reading period and I enjoyed it much more than I have thought... This book showed how teens were back in the late 60's and most parts of the 70's. It was one of the first books I have read that has a very sad ending. It shows the real life tradgedies found in the real world instead of some old story of boy meets girl, boy gets girl, and happily ever afters... It shows most of real lives of teens except for sex and personal sex lives which teens go through at their stage. A great story all in itself. A MUST READ!!!!

Summary: That was Then , This is Now
Review: This was a good book. Even if you haven't read the Outsiders first, it still makes sense. It tells about how they characters in the book deal with certain situations, and you can see your self in the characters place. This book is well written and expresses many emotions.

Summary: That was then, This is now
Review: That Was Then, This Is Now By S.E. Hinton 154 pages This book was very well written. The main character's name is Bryon. His best friend's name is Mark. Mark's parents died when he was nine, so Bryon's mother adopted him. They have been best friends ever since. They did everything together along with many mischievous things, but it is not all happy when there friend M&M's, sister comes back to town. It becomes chaotic. Many things happen, good and bad.
