Synopsis

An ALA Best Books for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Books of the Year The classic YA novel Rumble Fish, written by celebrated novelist S.E. Hinton and immortalized by legendary film maker Francis Ford Coppola. Rusty James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there’s nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn’t there to pick up the pieces. From the author of The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton looks into a world where hope is hard to find, and violence is a fact of life. “Stylistically superb. … This packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling.”—School Library Journal

You may be wondering, "Tim, why did yo......more

Tenía ganas de leer algo más de la autora de una de mis novelas favoritas, Rebeldes. No sabía qué esperarme, pero desde luego no una historia que siguiera los pasos de su primera obra. Pareciendo un spin-off, tratando el tema de las bandas callejeras, las peleas y las relaciones sexuales, Susan E. Hi......more

Goodreads review by Nigel on April 30, 2013

Things in life don’t come with equal weight. The biggest and heaviest impacts are when an event or a moment grab a life that is completely and utterly ripe for something it didn’t know existed. The film Rumble Fish was one of the big blows of my early adulthood. To me it was (and still is) mind-blowi......more

Rumble Fish was a cool movie that looked a lot like Robert Frank’s The Americans and had Mickey Rourke perfecting his Richard Hell impersonation with Tom Waits doing a Pop’s Chocklit Shoppe routine, whilst listening to Wall Of Voodoo and The Police jamming on the soundtrack…very new wave…totally Eig......more
