The Story of Tex, Jun 12 2007
By purple "pioneers" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tex (Hardcover)
Tex is a character you can' help but like. He can't seem to escape trouble and is satisfied with the simple life he has. He lives alone with his older brother Mason and when things begin to fall apart he does his best to pull it together. This action packed story is based on friendship, perseverance, and realizing who really cares about you.As an easygoing, troublemaking 15 year old Tex sees no fault to his life until his brother sells his horse and arguably best friend Negrito. He can't seem to forgive the brother he has trusted for so long. Money was tight as these two youngsters are forced to rely on each other in ways they may have never thought. Things are magnified with a girl on his mind especially since she is Johnny Collin's sister, Tex's best friend. The plot thickens from here as Tex gets into situations that make you want to read on. During these rough times his dysfunctional father finally returns, a person that Tex longs attention and love from.
This was a good book from beginning to end but one of my favorite parts was when Tex jumped Johnny's bike over the creek in front of a bunch of guys. Johnny had crashed just before take off because he tried to stop. Tex uses the excuse that he hit a bump and jumps the creek. He proves to everyone that his bike could take the coveted jump but crashes on the landing. When the quality of bike is everything that's one of the best things you can do for a friend. This patches there rocky relationship and shows Tex's caring and good hearted demeanor.
A good book carries a good lesson and in "Tex" lessons of life's hard times and knowing who to trust is seen throughout. He tried not to let the rough times drag him down as he stayed brave. You must trust the ones that are there for you. You can't make someone be the person you want them to be like Tex's father.
This was a very good book that always kept me interested. The very believable events made me not want to stop reading and the full characters just added to the plot. It was an in-depth story and I loved the way it was written. Tex seemed real and his life was one that compelled many messages.

Jason's Review, Dec 19 2005
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tex (Hardcover)
I loved this book. It was so much fun to read because there's just so much excitement and adventure. It is by my all-time favorite author S.E. Hinton, who writes the most amazing books I have ever read.This is about a boy named Texas, a trouble maker, who is starting to have a bad life. It all started when when Mason, Texas's bigger brother, sells Texas's horse because they were running out of money because their Pop hasn't been home for a really long time. The bad events just keep coming for Texas.
I think someone who would like this is someone who likes adventure stories that are full with excitement and twists.
