Summary: I liked it, but some parts were boring.
Review: At first it was pretty boring.But in the second chapter it became more exciting.There were parts of the book that were very depressing.But this is the type of book that is not afraid of telling it how it is.It talks about some real life situations.I recommend this book to anyone, and especially young people who don't know what some people go through.

Summary: "The Outsiders" is a must-read for anyone!
Review: I really got interested in all of the characters and I was captivated by each character's fun and unique personality. The main character's thoughtful and sensitive nature is part of what makes this book worthwhile.

Summary: This book was one of the best books I've read.
Review: We can all relate to this book with reality. Eventhough the time period was different, it had a lot of similarities with the way life is on the street today. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: A classic
Review: I've read many best selling books. They don't measure up to how good the Outsiders was. I loved this book. I'd recommed it to everybody.

Summary: What's with all the hype?
Review: This book is downright nasty and retarded. It over-exaggerates , insults the poor and brings pity to those who read it. I have never read such garbage in my life... Don't read Outsiders, unless your really, REALLY desperate. P.S- the final rumble was so lame it hurt my eyes. Pity Pony and Hinton!

Summary: I laughed, I cried, I loved it.
Review: Even though I read bestselling books by professional authors, they still don't measure up to S.E. Hinton's the Outsiders. Hinton is one of my favorite writers. This is the book she wrote that made her my favortie. I'd recommend this to all people, heck I'd even recommend it to people not of this world, if you know what I mean.

Summary: It's Da Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I'm a 6th grader from Virginia. I read this book for a school project and the rest of my group wanted to read this book. You know the saying, the majority wins. I'm glad it's that way. I loved every part of theis book. The Outsiders was one- excuse me, the best book I've ever read. It's amazing that a young 16 year old would be able to write such a great book. The outsiders is about a young boy named Ponyboy who tries to survive int he cruel world of ours. His parents are dead. He depends on his two older brothers for support and love.

Summary: It was waaaaay cool!
Review: It amazes me how a 16 year-old can produce such a great work. I thought it was pretty realistic, not like everything ends well. It seems absolutely real to me. Too real, as if S.E. Hinton was really Ponyboy. I liked the way the things happened, not too ridiculous, but like the everyday life of a greaser. It touched me. She saw clearly the bitterness of life and the way a 14 year old sees things, not understanding that Darry actually cared, but was too worried. She weaved all these things into a fascinating story. I liked the names 'Ponyboy' and 'sodapop' too. They added a special touch to the book. The names were unique and there was this aura spun around the names that set them aside in a nice and funny sorta way. Everything about the book had a deep sense of reality in it. I guess it was too real. One could get upset when Dally fell dead or Johnny died. You could literally see everything forming in your mind with every word put across. It is definitely worth the money.

Summary: The first "real" book I read that had a lasting impact!
Review: I first read this book in 1968 and it was the first "adult" book I read. It introduced me to a world outside of dick and jane and the cartoon characters I had known so well up to that point. It was through this book that I learned that I was not alone in how I was feeling and what was happening in the world around me. The characters seemed so real and the story made me feel sad, yet , happy at the same time. I can honestly say that I've read the book at least 30 times and, still as an adult, like to pick it up a re-read it. I think that this book is timeless and should be required reading for all young people. I recently introduced The Outsiders to an 11 year old girl and she absolutely loved it, showing that even in today's fast paced world it is still a great read!!

Summary: Stay Gold Pony Boy! Stay Gold!
Review: As a high school English teacher I find that my ninth graders intensely enjoy The Outsiders. Some kids are even moved to tears. I think the power of The Outsiders rests in Pony's narration. He tells the story with great psychological insight, but narrates the story with the tone of a 15 year old boy.
