In the my final reading of Taming the Star Runner , first off Joe is taking back to Travis , or Kens. There , still in a daze, he tells his story. Joe and the Twins started workign for Orsen who had them robbing houses. One day Joe didn't want to do i anymore and the twins said they wouldn't either. Orsen got soo mad that he drove them all up to some mountain were noone was around. They were deffenitly drunk , and high and not in the right state of mind. Orsen shot one of the twins and tryed to get Joe to shoot the other. Instead, Joe ran , hopped on a train , hich-hiked some and finally jumped out of a car on the highway when the driver started getting funny with him. Travis had to tell ken , and they came to conclusion the next day to take him in. One there way home theres a really bad storm, and Ken and Traiv run down and try to help Casey get the horse in. The star Runner escapes and Casey and Travis get in the jeep tryign to catch him adn outrun a tornadoe. The jeep flips in a ditch and Travis goes death for 2 days . After that a few days later , Travis tells that they no nothing about joe yet but Orsen is going to jail for life if not death, he still loves casey but in a different way, hes switching school when they move to town and already has a few friends, and hes starting his second book.
In the ending of the book , it doesn't directly state that the Star Runner died. It implies it a few times , but never really says.
If i could change the end of the book i would add what is going to happen to Joe. In the book they say there still decideing weither hes juvinille or adult for his punishment but thats it. Its also a little blurry on weither Ken and Tearsa are going to get back together . I would make that more clear. I would also of said what Travis's second book would be about .
In the end of the book Travis keeps saying over and over again and even lets out to Ken at one point what would of happend if he was there. Travis kept saying he never liked Orsen and coudl have prevented the twins death if he had been there . Not ever wishing he was but wondering. Travis keeps wondering why it wasn't him there . Its kinda of like Ken says in the book , fate , that travis was sent to live with him . If he wasn't then he could have been there with the twins if he made it that long , but might not of becasue Stan would of got to him first.
