Summary: watching grass grow is more fun
Review: Tex was the boy who the story was about. Mason was his older brother. Tex's friends are Johnny and Jamie. Jamie's older brother, Bob, is also friends with Tex and Mason. The book begins with Tex telling how his life has been. The problem is that their dad is in the rodeo so he travels to the rodeo and he hasn't been sending them money. I think the most exciting part is when there was a carnival in the city and they tried to sneak in without getting caught. The story ended with the two brothers happy and Mason was excepted into college to play basketball. Iliked the book because it was about two brothers that learned to live without their parents. Ithink the story was really interesting. The book was really good. If I was going to try to convince a friend to read this book I would tell him that it is a real good book about two brothers.

Summary: Fascinating book about overcoming obstacles
Review: Tex, by S.E. Hinton, is a fascinating book about a young teenager who overcomes many obstacles. During his adolescent life, Tex faces many complications due to his father's negligence and influence from his friends. His older brother, Mason, who serves as an effective role model and father figure, raises Tex during his father's absence. Tex admires his older brother for his competence and ability to achieve his goals.

S.E. Hinton's writing makes Tex seem so real and practically brings the character to life. The story line keeps the reader continuously engaged as Tex deals with changes around him and struggles to keep his life together. The trials and tribulations of Tex's life started with him giving up his horse leading all the way to a life-threatening situation when a hitchhiker kidnaps Tex and Mason and Mason's life is put on the line. Nevertheless, they manage to pull through and save themselves.

The story line goes into the mind of a fifteen-year-old, providing the reader with an insight of how a typical fifteen-year-old might think. S.E. Hinton's way of writing often involves a main character who deals with everything without a guiding force such as a parent. A similar theme exists in S.E. Hinton's first book, The Outsiders, which involves a group of youngsters that face dangerous situations without an authority figure directly present. Overall this book is great for everyone to read, especially for young adults. The reader remains drawn to the book as the plot thickens and the story line unfolds.

Summary: Tex
Review: The book Tex, by S. H. Hinton, is an interesting book about a teenage boy whose life is full of complication. He is easy going, careless, and believes everything would be perfect if his brother would stop complaining about their father. Throughout the book, Tex and his older brother Mason face many obstacles and problems. Many of the two brothers' problems are due to the absence and influence of their father. He has been gone for over five months. His brother, Mason, takes care of Tex, and serves as the authority figure and role model of the home while their father is gone. Tex loves his brother very much, but does not understand why he wants to leave.

Throughout the story, S. E. Hinton does an extraordinary job of making his audience feel exactly what the characters in the story are. As the characters go through the story they feel many different things. Some of these feelings include love, hate, and lots of confusion. He does an interesting job of helping the readers to understand what is going on inside the mind of the fifteen-year-old. He moves each character through the story in such a way that it makes the reader not want to put down the book. The story is filled with much emotion as Tex and his brother face their many problems.

Tex's problems begin as soon as his brother sells his horse. Then, only after a hitchhiker kidnaps them, do the brothers begin to really pull together. This life threatening ordeal brings them closer to each other. Along with an interesting storyline, S. E. Hinton does a wonderful job of helping the reader to understand what is going on. With many twists and turns, the storyline becomes clear and the book becomes more intriguing to read.

This is a great book for young readers who do not want to read a lengthy book, but one that delivers much feeling and emotion.

Summary: Tex
Review: The book Tex, by S.E. Hinton is a very good book. The events in the book are incredibly exciting. For example, when Mason hits his brother for going off and trying to find his horse after he sold it. The book is also very meaningful. I can really relate to many parts of the book, like when Tex gets hit for looking for his horse. Another exciting part is when Tex rides his friend's motorcycle. I think Tex's main problem is that Mason and he are so different. For example, Mason is good at school things and Tex isn't good at that kind of stuff. They act different and want different things out of life like Mason wants to go to college and Tex wants to stay in town. I think that Mason is more of the man in the family. With his dad always away at the rodeo he, must take control of the household. His little brother Tex doesn't understand that which makes the plot more complicated. Overall, I think the book is very exciting, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: A good book to read
Review: The book that I read was called Tex and it was writen by S.E. Hinton. The way that I would rate this book is with five stars because the two boys Tex and Mason lived alone for a long time. The two of them had to suffer their moms death of nomonia and their dad went off to rodeo. While the two of them were home alone some terrible things had happened and that is what I want you find out by reading the book. The person that I would recomend this to would be someone who read some of his other books.

Summary: Tex by Hinton
Review: The novel Tex by S.E. Hinton is an exciting book about a young teen and the problems he faces while growing up. Tex lives at home with his older brother, Mason, while his father travels the rodeo circuit. Tex's troubles begin when his father forgets to send money and Mason is forced to sell Tex's horse Negrito, in order to pay the bills. As things continue to get worse, Tex's easy going happy days come to an end. As Tex grows up he faces problems with all the people who are important to him. His father, brother, best friend, and his girlfriend all play an interesting part in the book. Through out the book, Tex reacts to situations in a careless and honest way even if it brings him trouble in the end. The author, S.E. Hinton, brings the characters to life because of the way she portrays them. I could almost guess the way Tex must be feeling at certain times in the book. She has a way of knowing what teenagers think and feel. The book kept my interest entirely because you never knew what might happen next. She lets the reader know that it is normal to have bad feeling for others sometimes. I believe this book helps teenagers understand that growing up isn't always easy.
