5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it to see my husband smile
S.E. Hinton was my husband’s favorite author. He got me to watch the outsiders for the first time about 4 years ago. My husband had all of her books except this one. He looked everywhere (obviously not Bolo 🤣) for this book to so he could have all the books she wrote. We found out on August the 1st he was in full liver failure and was given 3 to 6 months. We were devastated. I found this book and bought it for him. When I took it to the hospital and gave it to him the smile was worth every penny and more. Unfortunately his time was cut short and he stayed Golden until September the 1st. My son now has his dad's collection of his S.E. Hinton books.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite authors.
Here again is one of my favorite authors. "Taming The Star Runner" is a tale of the constant struggle of a young man trying to fit in.. somewhere, anywhere but who is truly a unique young man and different in a lot of ways from his peers. He pretty much tries not to let it show but he wants to be a writer. In high school you can imagine how this would go over. He has a lousy stepfather as seems oft to be the case, who does something incredibly insensitive to Travis and it lands Travis out in the mid west living with his Uncle on a farm away from the city and everything he knows and understands. Talk about a "fish out of water"! Here he meets Casey and her crazy horse, The Star Runner . Slowly a relationship between Travis, Casey, and his Uncle Ken begins to develop. Here is where Ms. Hinton excels. Weaving a story full of vibrant characters and their interactions into a deeply felt finality. The ending is extremely subtle and true to real life. Again, what I love about this author.
4.0 out of 5 stars The characters come alive, the scenery is vivid, the storyline is catching. Only one complaint, too much cursing. Young adults
The characters come alive, the scenery is vivid, the storyline is catching. Only one complaint, too much cursing. Young adults should be aware that the Lord's name is taken in vain often, before they venture this book. The book would have been much more enjoyable without it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read
My son loves to read and he loves all of the S.E. Hinton Books. I purchased this older book for him to add to his collection. Great book with a great story line.
5.0 out of 5 stars S.E. does it again!!!
Great story, started off slow but if u make it past the first chapter (too much description, Hintons trademark style) you will find this to be one of those books that is hard to put down! this books unique feature is that the main character "Travis" is definitely (according to me) Hinton in the way she was so young when she was attempting to have her first book published. Thus making his story extremely insightful from an aspiring young authors prospective, but the rest of the story is very strong as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Requested by my granddaughter as it was a favorite author.
Encourages kids to read.
3.0 out of 5 stars 3 star rating
book does not even compare to tex or the outsiders I felt let down with the ending this book truly left a lot to be desired
5.0 out of 5 stars Another Fantastic S.E. Hinton Masterpeice!
This book exceeded far beyond my expectations! The story plot is fantastic, and the moment you start reading, you want more! The detail is not quite as descript as "The Outsiders" but it is by far, the second best in my book. I was just going to read the first chapter to start with, but I ended up finishing the book in a matter of hours. Overall, a great value!
I soon found out that the young adult stories I loved as a teenager are just as compelling for adults
I read S.E.Hinton books when younger and when I saw her books are available on Kindle I decided to download and revisit some old favourites. I soon found out that the young adult stories I loved as a teenager are just as compelling for adults.This particular book revolves around Travis, a young writer with a volatile home life who moves to his Uncles in the Country where he finds that cool kids are defined in a different way to back home. The story focuses on his attempts to fit in and the friendships he builds as well as continuing the young writer storyline detailing his efforts to get published.All in all a very good coming of age story.
Teenager / YA novel.,
Don't remember reading this one as a kid so thought I'd try it out - possibly losses something not being a teenager anymore ;) but it was fun reading it nonetheless :)
Good
Book came pretty fast and was in perfect condition overall I would buy again.
The recipient loved it.
Arrived promptly. The recipient loved it.
Choices or fate?
Adult characters frequent more in this book, giving another level of consideration to the young characters.Travis goes to live with his uncle on his father's side, to put as much distance between him and his step-dad as possible.Travis has written a book, fallen in love, spent time with a three year old and has had his old life smack him from behind. He learns from the bottom up to be his own person in a world that he would have never chosen for himself, but would never leave now for his old life.Taming the Star Runner is a book with awareness for others and liking the way it feels...sometimes.
