Book Reviews of Rumble Fish
Book Review: Good Book for Fans of "The Outsiders"
Summary: 4 Stars
If you LOVED "the Outsiders", you will LIKE "Rumble Fish". Notice I said LIKE. Considering that "the Outsiders" is one of my favorite books ever (can you believe S.E. Hinton is a female and was only 16 when she wrote it?), I definitely expected to like this book more than I did. But it's still a good book. Pick it up at the library sometime if you want a quick and easy read, just don't go rush out and buy it or anything. And since you already know the details of the book, I won't bore you with any more. Slightly recommended!Book Review: Good... could've been great
Summary: 4 Stars
After I read S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders", I decided to read this one. When I read it for the first time, I didn't quite understand it. When I read it again, I understood it a lot more. I figured out why it is called "Rumble Fish." It is not because The Motorcycle Boy is amused by the siamese fighting fish. It is called Rumble Fish because in the book, it mentions on how The Motorcycle Boy and Rusty-James are in a glass bubble and on how everyone outside the bubble just live on with their lives. The Motorcycle Boy and Rusty-James are like "rumble fish" that are trapped inside the glass bubble and they are not wanted anywhere. The reason why I say that this book is good and not great is because I expected to learn more about the characters personalities, especially Motorcycle Boy's. He is such an unusual character, and I wish I could've learned more about him. I do not recommend everyone to read this book because some parts in it are questionable. Also it ends too abruptly. The ending will make you decide whether you hate it or you don't. I recommend S.E. Hinton's first novel "The Outsiders" to everyone, but I DO NOT recommend "THAT WAS THEN...THIS IS NOW." Out of Hinton's first three novels, Rumble Fish is my second favorite, THe Outsiders is my first, and That was then... this is now my third favorite. The morale to the story Rumble Fish is "Be careful who you idolize because you might end up just like them."Book Review: Great story of young teen
Summary: 4 Stars
Rumble Fish is a book for young teens. The main character Rusty-James is a young tough teenager. Who wants to be just like his older brother the Motorcycle Boy. The Motorcycle Boy isn't scared of anybody and is really tough. Everybody looks up to him. I liked that because shows how people can act as role model. Rusty-James best friend Steve do a lot of things together like hang around Benny's a pool hall, get into fights, watch adult movies, drink, steel, and party. This makes you want to keep on reading the book. Rusty doesn't have much guidance because his mother left his dad. He's an alcoholic and is rarely around. This is excellent because it makes the story better when the characters do what ever they want. Rusty-James and Steve get into some trouble late one night when they are lost in the town. The motorcycle boy is not there for them. Rusty- James finally pulls his last string and gets into a lot of trouble with the motorcycle boy. He learns a lot from his actions with the motorcycle boy. Over all this book was not my favorite book I have ever read but is a exciting story about Rusty-James and his brother. So if you like the Outsiders I think its necessity read rumble fish.Book Review: Greta book

Summary: 4 Stars
Rumble Fish is book about gang street fighting and growing up. The book is named after a fish that has to stay in separate tanks because they will kill each other. The best reason to read this book is to learn about gang street life. This book is also good to read 'cause you can get your heart broken. But my heart didn't break.
