Taming The Star Runner entry 1.

  I am currently reading " Taming The Star Runner " , by S.E. Hinton. So far the book is about a boy named Travis that is being sent away on a plane to his uncles because of his behavior towards his step father Stan , who he nearly killed. The book opens up with Travis being taken to the airport accomenied by his mother and two best friends Kirk and Joe. He is very nervous not so much about being sent to his Uncles untill next summer ( doesn't give the tiem now ) but by flying on a plane all together.

My opinon on the book so far is good. I really enjoyed readign The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton , and this book seems in ways similar. I love reading books that  take place in the time periods of the 60's , 70's , and 80's. There are hints in this book that hint to the story taking place in one of those decades , like for example packet knives kept in boots and used sometimes in fights that occur a lot . Also the use of tapes and tape players instead of C.D's . So far the book , in my opion has a good begging bacause it states the information needed to know along with it not being overwellming and boring like it is in the begging of some books.
