Summary: A Great Boy by S.E. Hinton
Comment: In the book, That was Than This is Now by S.E. Hinton, a young boy goes on his path to maturity while his best friend is still acting like a tough greaser. Like many of S.E. Hinton's books this takes place in a time of gangs and hippies. After the socs and the greasers' war, Bryon and his best friend Mark are enjoying life by being to able to do whatever they want. Mark was brought into Bryon's family after his parents killed each other. Their mother does not care what they do as long as they don't get themselves killed. Him and Bryon have been best friends since they were little kids mixed up in the greasers. They hang out in a bar, hustle complete strangers in pool and go to the drug store with M&M, who is a hippie. Due to a turn in events these three, and M&M's sister, Cathy, get into a dilemma where their decisions can determine the rest of their lives.
This book that S.E. Hinton wrote is a lot like many others he wrote, such as Taming the Star Runner, Tex, and Rumble Fish. It takes place in the mind of a young boy going through tough times by living on the streets. This book's time period is probably two years after The Outsiders, but in this book, unlike The Outsiders, the characters are different. There is still Ponyboy Curtis, but that is the only character from The Outsiders. S.E. Hinton has written many good books for young readers and this book is no exception. I really enjoyed reading this book and recommend this book for all young readers.

Summary: The Hard Way
Comment: S.E. Hinton's, That Was Then, This Is Now was a great book. If you are a person looking for a book about cheating and getting into mischief, then this is a book for you. Right from the start of this book it caught my eye. There is two best friends named Bryon and Mark who always seemed to be getting into trouble. They thought of themselves as brothers because when were young Mark's parents shot and killed each other and Mark moved in with Bryon and his mother. Bryon was known as a player but he fell in love with his friend M&M's sister. M&M was a really smart kid who always read and babysat his little brothers and sisters he really liked it. But his father picked on him all the time so he ended up running away with a group of hippies and started taking LSD and he had a bad trip and lost himself. Cathy who was Bryon's girl friend and M&M's sister took this really hard and so did Bryon because he cared for Cathy so much. Bryon later found out that his best friend Mark sold M&M the LSD and Bryon had no choice but to call the police. The Police ended up taking Mark to jail where he ended up in a state prison. In the end Bryon forgot about Mark and he broke it off with Cathy and went on his own. "That Was Then, This Is Now". I recommend this to everyone. I really like this book because it is about this day in age. Most of the stuff that happens in this book really happens now, so if you have a crazy life style then this should be a book for you.

Summary: Sequel to The Outsiders is outstanding
Comment: This book, which has some of the same characters from The Outsiders, such as Ponyboy Curtis, is a great read. I read this book in practically one sitting it was so good. I don't think this book is as good as the first one, but it still is a great book. The main characters, such as Byron, Cathy, Mark, and M&M, really kept me captivated and kept me wanted to read on. This book deals woith some serious issues, such as drugs, fighting, and betrayal between friends. I honestly couldn't believe it when Byron told on his almost brother, Mark for what he did. In the end, Mark, Byron's former soul brother, ends up in jail. The books end is so sad, with Byron not really caring about anyone, and Mark hating him while he's in jail. It is for all these interesting plot twists, and captivating chracter conflicts that make this this book so interesting that you don't want to stop reading it. This book is a must-have, for anyone looking for a great read.
