Summary: amazing....
Review: This book, I was blown away. I had gone to see the play with my class and thinking it was going to be stupid I really wasn't looking forward to it. The day after I had seen the play I rushed to my local library and checked the book out. I loved it!!! Ponyboy is a boy who who thinks there are two people in the world a soc and a greaser. He himself is a greaser who by defanition has barley, or no money, greasy hair and always hang out in groups. This book makes you think about life in a whole 'nother way. You feel like you know the charecters by the way S.E. Hinton (short for Susan Eloise Hinton) descrides them.

Summary: I LOVED JOHNNY
Review: I had to read this book as a requierment for one of my classes in school, and was sort of upset I had to read it...But as I read I had realized that this was the first book I have ever read word for word...As a non-reader I believe that this book shows the life of a young teen in struggles, friendships, acceptance, and courage... My favorite character was Johnny, because he grabed my attention from the start... I definatly recommend this book to any one who want's a book they wont put down...

Summary: One of the greatest young adult books of all time
Review: I was 12 years old when I read this book for the first time. I am 47 now and it still has a place on my bookshelf. I even re-read it every so often. Its just as compelling now as it was the first time I read it. Now that the mark of a good read!

Summary: great book
Review: I had to read this book when I was in 8th grade and I looked at the cover and read the back and thought I was goin to hate it. I started reading it the night I got it for my assignment and I could not stop! I read the whole book in about 2 hours and it really moved me. (Although it is a quick read it really is an incredible book) It takes alot to make me cry-and i mean ALOT-but his book brought tears to my eyes. The friendships, hurt, pain, loyalty, cliques, gangs, and humor in this book brought it all together in a wonderful story! It has been my favorite book ever since the night I read it. I still read it often and each time I read it I end up crying. This is a MUST read book. The relationships between the characters in this book are incredible and I absolutley loved the ending!! You have to read this! If you do not feal like spending the money, go and check the book out at the library! You will be surprised!

Summary: Outsiders Is Outstanding
Review: This book is one of the best books I have ever read. Usually I hate reading. It bores me, but for some reson I can't put this book down. These characters are great. Ponyboy is my favorite! He seems like he is really nice, and he really cares. Unlike Dally who you think might not care as much, but really does. This book was outstanding, its on the top of my list. I have never read anything like it. My favorite character besides Ponyboy must be Sodapop. He is just so great, he is always there and careing. He is also always trying to help Ponyboy in anyway that is possible. Soda really looks out for Ponyboy and I think that is great to have someone like that. Who is always helping you and asking whats wrong when you seem down, and just loving him more then anything and showing that he actually cares. And once again this book is great!

Please make more books! Any person, young or old, should read this book, you will not be sorry!

Summary: I Hated It
Review: I had to read this in lit class last year, and it was so boring! No one in my class liked it (but how COULD anyone like it.. and if you did... seek therapy). It's kinda funny how a school would make students read a book that glorified gang life...Anyway, it is about two sorry excuses of gangs (though why they are called gangs is WAY beyond me), the rich kids that are called "socs" (like in 'socials'... not socks), and the greasy-haired poor kids called "greasers". Anyway the socs like to beat up the poor kids, and the greasers are way too emotional about their greasy hair, and "hard" lives.

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: The Outsiders I loved reading The Outsiders. It was a fun-filled book that made me want to keep reading. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. The two gangs continuously brawling and one time someone got killed. This was a very suspenseful book because I never could predict what was going to happen next. The book was short, but long enough to get all the details in, like the character, and a detailed description of what was going on at every moment. And the book was very easy to read. Even though I cant relate to any of the characters in the book, I can imagine what it would be like to be in a gang. Being in a gang would be very hard because you are expected to do a lot, like get into a fight if someone makes fun of you. And if you don't then you let the whole gang down.
