Some of Tim's Stories

By: S. E. Hinton

Narrated by: Vikas Adam

In some of S. E. Hinton's strongest writing ever comes a profound and wry compilation of fourteen short stories.

Terry and Mike are cousins whose families are almost seamlessly intertwined. Raised as close as brothers and living happy childhoods, neither one thinks of what can go wrong. But the unexpected deaths of both their fathers catapult their lives in two very different directions. Terry finds trouble with the law, while Mike lives his life racked with guilt and sadness.

In her first book in four years, The Outsiders author S. E. Hinton gives listeners a gritty view of how one incident, one tragedy, affects two boys very differently, and changes their lives forever.

Decent Read

The overall story is quite good. As the title implies, it is a collection of short stories centered around one central character. I was somewhat expecting this book to be somewhat related to Hinton's writings about Tulsa, and it's not. Even still, it is a good read and a good series of short stories. The stories are woven together well, and each one individually is a good story. It's not a book I'm super compelled to read again soon, but I wouldn't be mad at it if someone wanted to listen to it on a road trip.
