This book is about a guy named Bryon. He lives with his mom and his best friend Mark, lives with him cause both of marks parents died. Mark and Bryon have been best friend way before Mark moved in. One day Bryon had a really bad headache and wanted a cigarette. SO he reached under Marks bed to get the box that Marks keeps the cigarettes in. And he saw drugs in the box. So he called the police right away and he didn't know why he betrayed Mark. When Mark came in the room, Bryon looked at him, and

That Was Then, This Is Now was a very eye opening read that becomes more exciting from the start to the end. Its a novel about two boys named Bryon and Mark that are living in a society where their lives can change in the blink of an eye, and Bryon has to start making strong decisions because of Marks choices.I like Bryon, because the more he has life long experiences, the more he starts to realize reality. As the story develops Mark realizes how people really are. Mark learns that just because

Do yourself a favor and skip the crap movie with, um, one of the Estevez brothers, I forget which one. This YA is actually pretty powerful, if rather bleak, because unlike the movie, the novel doesn't cop out by giving the audience a phony happy ending.

This book is heartbreaking. I read it years ago and wanted to read it again. Want to know the reason why it took me years to read it again? Because I cried my eyes out when I finished it the first time, that it has taken me this long to be able to read it again. The heartbreak was still there when I reached the end, but it was a memory of the original heartbreak. I didnt cry the second time around, but I was close to it.The characters are are very well developed making you feel everything they

So I'm looking at my lit mag/writer-centered twitter feed sometime last year or the year before and I see an article about S. E. Hinton speaking before an audience. During the Q & A session a fan asks her why she had to kill off the hero of her first and most famous novel and she responds, "Because I'm a stone-cold bitch." Which is, I think, probably the coolest, most honest, and in-your-face answer to a question that any writer has ever given about their work.I fall back into memories of my

It really is amazing to me that this author, a female, can get into the head of a male teenager, to such a degree that she so completely reveals his thoughts, his actions, his justifications, his excuses, etc. In reading about the author, she said that as a teen she was not satisfied with what was available for her to read so she did something about it and as a consequence she wrote literature relevant to and for a young adult audience. (Of course, the frankness and bold honesty over the years

Every bit as punching (no pun intended) as The Outsiders, but with a much darker ending. It was great to see cameos of the characters from The Outsiders. The different perspective on Curtis was a nice touch. Hinton's writing style made a noticeable improvement. Which is saying a lot. While she was fantastic in The Outsiders, this book made her points a lot more subtle (with the exception of the titled line). She made no great effort to foreshadow events, yet everything fell into a logical line
