Title: “Taming The Star Runner” The title makes me wonder what kind of horse The Star Runner was. It sparks my interest and makes me also wonder how he tamed the Star Runner. The title fits well with the book because in the book the main character was untamable like the Star Runner. I was excited to read another S.E. Hinton book. There were no pictures in this book.
Author: The author of Taming The Star Runner is S.E. Hinton. I have read two other books that she wrote, the first being the “Outsiders” and the other book being “Rumble Fish”.
Type of Book: This book was a fictional story.The main types of people that would like to read these books would be teenagers. I don't usually read these types of books. However I do enjoy reading books from …show more content…
Another thing I liked about this book was that the main character went on an adventure and discovered himself. One thing in this book that worked for me was how Hinton transitioned pieces of the story. A good example of this is in the beginning when Travis was sent away from his mom and stepdad to go live with his uncle. This book is similar to S.E. Hinton’s other stories like “The Outsiders” and “Rumble Fish”. These stories all involve troubled youths living in hard times. Another common theme is that the main character in these stories don't really have parents. There might be a parent in the story but that parent isn't raising their kids. One major theme from this book was that the main character had a tough life and had a rough background. Despite this, he ended up being alright. The book appealed to me more in an emotional way than a logical way. I sympathized with the character throughout the entire story.
Favorite Quote: One of my favorite quotes was,”If I had wanted to kill him, he’d be dead”. This was important in the story because it's a teenager talking about an adult.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book and other S.E. Hinton books to others because they are gritty and realistic in the way they depict the hard lives some kids live. I would tell someone interested in “Taming the Star Runner” that this is a story about coming of age. It's both sad and happy at the same time. I would talk about how my life compares to the life of the main character in the story. I think my life is way
