This is a coming of age story about two best friends, and what happens to them when they start to mature and grow apart. It is a story about friendship, loyalty, and mostly how the difference between right and wrong is subjective. There is excellent character development, and although the book is short (I finished it in a few hours) by the end you feel for every character in the story, as if you really know them. Recommended for anyone who liked The Outsiders.

I don't think I can write a review about a book that S.E. Hinton wrote without mentioning that she is the author of one of my favorite books as a teenager: The Outsiders. Then when I was in college I took a class on adolescent literature and we read The Outsiders and at that time I was in my 30's. I still loved it.Reading this book, silly as it may sound, I loved seeing Ponyboy was in it. I felt like I had come across a long lost friend. I loved him so much in the previous book mentioned. He

This book is heartbreaking. I read it years ago and wanted to read it again. Want to know the reason why it took me years to read it again? Because I cried my eyes out when I finished it the first time, that it has taken me this long to be able to read it again. The heartbreak was still there when I reached the end, but it was a memory of the original heartbreak. I didnt cry the second time around, but I was close to it.The characters are are very well developed making you feel everything they

The book was so good...during the pages. During the journey of Bryon and Mark, that is. It was emotional, breathtaking, and shocking! S.E. Hinton is an obvious gifted writer, I'll tell anyone! Bryon is a kid who's focused on the big picture. He's serious but has fun if it's hassling or just being the cool kid. He's a wise-crack kid and the biggest player in Tulsa. He never says "I love you" with feeling. But that was until Cathy came along.Mark is the joker. He's the one who can hardly speak a

A great adolescent character study, THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW is about growing up and dealing with all of the difficult and hard changes that life throws your way. A surprising book in some ways. I enjoyed this short novel of Hinton's.

Do you like gangs, drugs and hustling for money? Well then youll love this book. This book is about the criminal life of 16 year old Bryon. Bryon and his best friend Mark used to spend most of their time pool hustling and mugging people. Ever since they were kids they loved to fight. Almost every day they would mug people or hustle them in pool for money. One night that completely changed for Bryon. Their good friend Charlie ran the bar they would hustle in. One night when Bryon and Mark were

This was another joint read with my daughter. She was pleased to see the reappearance of Ponyboy, but would have liked to have seen a bit more of him. It was fun to discuss with her the similarities and then contrast the differences of Bryon and Ponyboy. Both were intelligent, got good grades, were from the poor side of town scraping to make ends meet, and clearly had good morals; pretty much. Yet unlike Ponyboy, Bryon is a player with the girls, self-assured and a risk taker. To be sure, they
