Book Reviews of Rumble Fish
Book Review: My favorite book!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rumble fish tells the tale of Rusty-james, a 14 year old tough kid who enjoys keeping up his bad rep and wants more than anything in the world to be like his brother, The Mortercycle Boy. The Motercycle Boy is the coolest guy in town, the leader of the gangs, and a mystery to all. Smart, eye catching, and tough; the Motercyle Boy is everything Rusty-James has ever dreamt of being. The only problem is, Rusty-james isn't quite as bright as his brother. He is more bronze than brains and rather reckless. Also he is incapable of understanding The Motercycle Boy and u can't help wondering... is being The Motercycle Boy really as great as Rusty-James thinks it is?
S.E. Hinton is a master of her trade. The charecters in this novel are extremely well developed and unique. Unforgetable, moveing, and true this is definatly one of my favorite books. A good building block to heavier novels such as Catcher in the Rye and Drugstore Cowboy.
Book Review: My least favorite Hinton Book.
Summary: 3 Stars
I have always been a big fan of SE HINTON's book...but this is my least favorite of them all. I am not able to sympathize or relate to the characters in this one at all...and unlike THE OUTSIDERS, I don't find anything interesting about the characters.Book Review: Not that great
Summary: 3 Stars
It was okay but not that great. I really enjoyd That was then this is now though.Book Review: Not the Best
Summary: 2 Stars
Though it had its moments, I thought that Rumble Fish was S. E. Hinton's worst book. I didn't like the characters that much. The main problem with this book is that it tries to be as good as the Outsiders, but dosn't even come close. The title is awful!Book Review: Okay
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought that "Rumble Fish" was okay. It had some exciting parts, but not a very good storyline. I think that S.E.Hinton is a great author, but this wasn't her best work. I thought this book would be more like "The Outsiders", in the elements of many plot twists, and the brotherly love that was clearly shown in outsiders, but Rumble Fish just didn't have it. It's about a fourteen year old kid who looks up to his big brother, but his brother barely notices him. They live with his alcoholic father, and the Motorcycle Boy always leaves. However, they never say why Motorcyles Boy takes off. It wasn't a bad book, I finished it in a day, but that was mainly because I kept thinking, just a little more and it'll get better. Well, some people might like it, but I don't recommend it; it depressed me.
