That Was Then, This Is Now by S.E. Hinton Review


Review
LOVED IT! This book really displays tests of friendship! Possibly even too well. Mark and Bryon have been bestfriends and inseparable for years. They feel like they're growing apart, Mark loves getting into fights and Bryon hates them. Bryon's world seems to be making him grow up too fast.

Characters
Bryon, has grown up but not completely because he still wants to hang out and have fun. 
Mark, needs to grow up but seems like he doesn't even know where to start.
Cathy, Bryon's girlfriend
M&M, This kid that follows Bryon around and seems to get himself into trouble a lot.

Review
**** 4 stars. Guess what! Ponyboy showed up! Not much, only a couple times but he did! 

Rumblefish S.E. Hinton Review

Review
This book has only 135 pages, so it didn't take me long to finish it at all! I enjoyed it quite a lot, but the summary on the back doesn't match the story at all. Rusty-James has a reputation as a badass, he has lots of friends and even more enemies. He doesn't do good in school, so he claims he isn't smart and gets into fights all the time. What he wants more than anything is to be just like his brother, the Motorcycle Boy. 


Characters
Rusty-James, to me he's just a kid that can't seem to find his place in the world.
Steve, Rusty's best friend, he's full of knowledge. Honestly I think he was my favorite.
Motorcycle Boy, Rusty's brother who has a tendency to leave town and you never know when he's coming back.

Rating
I give this book *** only 3 stars. The story didn't add up to my expectations.

SORRY and City of Glass review.

Still a failure!! 
After I finished Linger I started City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. I am so in love! It starts kinda slow, but I've also been a bad reader with this book. All the blame can't be laid on the book. I've been really busy and had some big state tests and things at school. 
BACK TO THE BOOK! 
OMG! Jace! Sebastian! Simon! Clary! Luke! Isabelle! Alec! Magnus! So in love!! Love the characters! Love the world! I want to live there. I can't tell anything about this book because it will be a major spoiler.

4 stars. Just because of the slow start.
