    <body><![CDATA[I bought this book at the book fair at school when I was in the 7th grade. I started reading it before class and decided that reading the rest of that book took precedence over going to class. As such, I slipped outside, hid in the shrubbery and read this book all day. I was only discovered by one o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16804185">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a reallllyyyyyy amazing book! My friends said they liked it, though they thought it was weird. I didn't see a thing wrong with it. This has to be my favorite Hinton book I've read so far =) It's told as a memory about this boy named Rusty-James, and his struggles with his friends and family,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54422063">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[ <u>Rumble Fish</u> was an amazing, strong emotional tale of 2 brothers struggling with their alienation of society crumbling down on them. Young, rough Rusty James admires his older brother Motorcycle Boy &amp; wants to be just like him. As for the Motorcycle Boy who speaks with cool metaphors.

    <body><![CDATA[Along with The Outsiders, reread this again as an adult. Much better, in my opinion, for an adult reader (as compared to Outsiders). Compelling characters that you really root for (and despise). Fantastic read for young men, fun to relive as an adult. if your first read is as an adult, you may not e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71435646">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I always prefered Rumble Fish to The Outsiders, which I found a little I don't know...homoerotic. This isn't great literature, but it makes you feel grown up when you read it at 12 years old.<br/><br/>I thought the Motorcycle Boy was the shit.
