Great book with a little violance.
Rumble is one of my favorite books ever. it is really good and is, a little violant. that is my only concern. I think oter then that, it's fine. It's no worse then Hinton's The Outsiders. If you feel so, please respond to my review, I want to know what you think of it, agree, disagree, tell me! It's a wonderful book, but it makes you feel kind of crazy if you read it for to long of time. And tell me what you think! I need it for a progect!!

a good freshman reader
Rusty-James’s only direction in life is to be exactly like his brother, Motorcycle Boy. Even though all his brother does is drift thoughtlessly through life. Rusty-James is stuck seemingly for the rest of his life in a crummy neighborhood because he refuses to rely on anything but his physical strength.
