Growth is Betrayal

Gripping, and though it was a sad ending, I feel better knowing it happened. He would grow from this and it feels right to applaud Bryon at the end. At least in my opinion.

Made you think

i perosnally am one of S.E. Hinton's biggest readers and followers. after I read the Outsiders, I felt and understood the book and it helped me comprehend other books as well. I heard about That Was Then, This is Now and was excited to read it. i thiought it was going to be an emotional and understanding book. Boy, was I wrong. it was one THE toughest things to read i my entire life. it didnt make me feel or understand: instead I racked my brain for practically hours, trying to get the message. She uses so many metaphors and symbols it was too hard. i took a break and when I got back on it, it was harder. I wanted to shred the book by the time i was finished because of the ending. now dont read this book because i said it was too much. once it got thrugh to me, I saw everything in a different perpesctive and it made me understanding towards almost everyhting. i reccomend this book to people who have can comprehend and think in new lights: it was a very complicated book.
