Taming the Star Runner S E Hinton Books

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.

Taming the Star Runner S E Hinton Books Reviews

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
Taming the star runner is not like everyother SE hinton book. it is written in 3rd person. but it is still a great book. the ending is thrilling and unbleiveably great! 5 stars!!!
I love this book, it has a lot of things in it I can relate to.
Purchased by school district. Didn't hear any complaints from the teacher (and I would), so assume all's good.
Great gift.
My son loved this book
Taming the Star Runner went into print just over twenty years after S.E. Hinton's first novel The Outsiders. Having written five books for young adults Hinton manages to make them all stand alone, which is a fine skill. Taming the Star Runner doesn't have the heavy action that The Outsiders, That Was Then This Is Now or Rumble Fish has. Yet, the story covers many personal issues that the lead character Travis finds himself in. It seems no matter which Hinton book you choose parenting is a theme that has a major impact on the lead character. Hinton gives more of herself in this book than any other, which makes it extra special. The fact that Travis aims to become a young published author and develops an interest in horses is very S.E. Hinton like. I appreciated that Hinton identified in this book that adults from fortunate and less fortunate backgrounds can find personal relationships difficult, which allowed Travis and the reader to realise that we as human beings all have our own faults, and it's up to us as individuals to make the best of what we have.
