The Outsiders

Rating:
Summary: This was the best book I've ever read, it was very powerful.
Review: This book was excellent. It was just like real life. It made you feel as if you were there a character that wasn't mentioned. It was strong and powerful and left you astonished when you were finished reading it.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS TIGHT!
Review: For a person like me, who usually doesn't read anything other than magazines (every now and then), it was good. So far it's the first one I've ever read that I couldn't put down. For me it's generally very easy to put any book down (yes, even the classics). I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to read anything that's not boring...this is a book for anyone who wants to really get into what they're reading because I know I got into it.

Summary: A must-read for all middle or high school students!
Review: This book was just read by my middle school literature class, and I must say, they were rivited to it. One boy whom I thought might not like it was the first one finished! I think they thought it was cool but sensitive at the same time. It appealed to both the boys and the girls. One more thing...after completing the book and turning in a book report, we viewed the movie "The Outsiders" in class, and guess what...most liked the book better! If you see the movie, you'll know why. I was impressed that the students liked to imagine the characters the way they saw them, not how Hollywood portrayed them. Again, this book is A-one all the way

Summary: A great view of teenage life
Review: I read this book and could not put it down, the way the characters where described was so realistic. The problems, unfortunately, that took place in the book where so realistic!

Summary: This Is A Wonderful Book
Review: This is an amazing book that hits all aspects of humanity: pain, love, terror, life, friends. I've read so much that I'd forgotten that, with the exceptions of Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller, there was a book that could make me cry. As Ponyboy would say, I was bawling. If you've not read it all ready, go pick it up. Yeah, I'm talking to YOU.

Rating:
Summary: I loved it. It was thrilling, realistic, and very emotional.
Review: This book is something that many people can relate to. There are a lot of people out there that have been in awful positions, and I know that every time that I start to have trouble, I remember this story.

Summary: A "Golden" Story for all Ages
Review: I first read S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" when I was in high school back in '82. I'm now pushing 34 and recently read it for the second time. What astounded me the most was that a 16-year-old female (Hinton) wrote a story from a 14-year-old male's point-of-view. Quite an impressive feat! It is a classic, heartwarming story of three brothers (and their friends) fending for themselves as well as against a wicked gang of "high-society" Socs. Of course, the protagonist's story goes deeper than that. My personal favorite part of the entire book was Robert Frost's classic poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay," because it has a personal touch, one I can relate to. I give it a four-and-a-half-star rating out of five stars. Highly recommended for all ages.
