Summary: Thrilling
Review: Even though this book was written in the 1960's, it truly describes what life is like today in cities where two rival gangs battle. The combination of action, comedy, and tragedy makes this book 5 stars. Hinton really got into the characters' minds as each member of the Socs and the Greasers had a different personality and way of doing things. I recommend this book for ages 11-16.

Summary: Impressive Book
Review: This book is narrated by Ponyboy the main character. The events of the book deal with the conflict between the Greasers and the Socs, what caused changes in the gang, and the importance of friendship. To the people who have not read this book yet, you've got to read it. It really makes you think about you and your friends.

Summary: This Book Was The Best
Review: This book is soo good. Hinton really did a great job to get you to understnad and get to know the characters and how they felt. I loved it, I cried when Pony read Johnny's letter, but books that can get someone that emotional, over a book, defanitely must be wirth reading. The book had a great message, read it if you want an awesome pleasurable book. Thanks, Hinton.

Summary: This Book Is Great
Review: This book unlike a lot of other books is based on real life. The author describes the characters so well, especially Johnnycake, that you feel like you know them and can tell exactly what they are going to do next before it shows up on the next page. For me it was almost like I was at the comdemned church helping Ponyboy and Johnny get the school children out of the burning structure.

Summary: The best book for teenagers ever written.
Review: So many others have said this but it is true. This book is so different from anything else that was available at the time and even now there is not one book that compares to it. It is realistic in terms of people and emotions. Adults, if you have not read this book, you should. When I was in high school I was a tutor for a remedial math class. These kids were reading "The Outsiders" in their English class. We could discuss it and for the first time we all connected. It sounds cheesy but it's true.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK! It is the best book I have ever read.
Review: This is the best book ever! It talks about the problems in life and that predjudice solves nothing. This book has suspense, action, drama, and a good moral. I have read two others by Hinton, and I almost enjoyed them as much as this one.
Rating:
Summary: Outstanding!Suspensful, adventurous, and touching.
Review: "The Outsiders" is a compelling tale of suspense, hate, and the obvious differences between two groups of people. The Characters are realistic and easy to relate to. The ending was very good and I was sad when the book was over. I highly reccomend this well-written book to anyone!
Rating: 
Summary: Not bad
Review: This book is a perfectly fine story about teenage kids in gangs, but it's simply not spectacular. One major dissapointment is that all of S.E. Hinton's books seem exactly the same--read The Outsiders four times and save your money.
