Summary: A story about growing up
Comment: I think "Tex" is an extremely good book. S.E.Hinton brings you into the mind of a fifteen year old who is going through many changes as an adolescent. He faces problems with his brother, his best friend, and the girl he loves. The story brings Tex to a life changing truth about his father. Tex's reactions, movements, and dialogue are realistic. S.E.Hinton really helps you to know and understand what it is like to be Tex. She creates Tex as a teenager so well. Her writing is interesting . The book keeps you interested from the beginning to the end. Her writing allows you to relate or somehow feel for Tex even though you may have nothing in common with him. She teaches you small lessons in life when making the transition from a kid to a teenager to an adult. Although I loved the book, I was a bit disappointed that this book does not differ much from the rest of her work. Her work is repetitive. She seems to use the same themes over and over again in her stories. Nevertheless, I still recommend that people read this book.

Summary: Great Book!!!
Comment: After Rumble Fish, S.E Hinton took a nine-year break from writing and got married, and gave birth to her son, David. After those nine years, she came back into the Young Adult scene with a vengeance; this time in the form of a sweet fifteen year old cowboy named Tex McCormick. Like The Outsiders, That Was Then, and Rumble Fish, Tex has the overall theme of a teenage boy growing up, but what makes this one different is the amazingly matured style of writing the author has developed. S.E Hinton was surprisingly able to change her usual downtown setting into the country in a vivid and realistic way. Though it was mildly refered to in her previous writings, this is the first of Susan's novels to openly portray sex as one of many ponderings and reflections in Tex's typical teenage mind. Another change is the style of character she uses. Tex McCormick is different from Rusty James, Ponyboy, Bryon, and Mark- he's definitely not as tough, and doesn't smoke regularly (although he says he wants "to get around to it sometime"). I had to give it four stars because of the lack of storyline in the book. There's isn't really a solid foundation to it, but it is made up simply by the innocent way Tex describes what he sees, feels and does. I loved reading about the way he described falling in love for the first time with Jamie. Overall this was an awesome book, not really a drama but a more or less a smart-witted, adorable, and extremely humorous tale of a boy who looks at life and its troubles through rose-colored glasses.

Summary: watching grass grow is more fun
Comment: Tex is about a young man and his brother. They get into trouble but also find their way out. Tex , the name of the main charter , has a dad but he doesn't live with him. Tex's dad doesn't always come down to visit and Tex holds that against him. Tex has a friend named Johnny and they like to hang out together. Tex has problems with his friends, with his foes, and sometimes with the law. One of the reasons that I didn't really like this book was that that it doesn't live up to The Outsiders a book also by S.E Hinton. This book did not have enough adventure in it. I was expecting something very good and adventurous from S.E Hinton but this book just isn't. I didn't connect with Tex because he's not really adventurous like me. He likes to ride horses and I really do not. If he was more adventurous and liked to get inn to trouble then maybe I would like the book a little bit more.
