Review: I'm fifteen and I really connected with Ponyboy and understood his situation. Ponyboy is a fourteen year old boy trying to cope with the death of his parents and appreciate what he has. he's living with his two brothers sodapop and darry and all he has are his brothers and the gang, johnny, dally, steve, two bit and his brothers. this is a great book i couldn't put it down and i was crying really hard by the end. my favorite part was when darry and pony finally connect and the note from johnny. read it!

Review: I usually do not like the required reading material at school but I could not wait to see what happened in this book. Even the test were not to bad over this book.

Rating:
Summary: Inspirational and Awesome!
Review: This book is about boys who are supposedly tough and rough on the outside, but when the story is told from one of the Greasers, you realize that they are people that have feelings and are really sensitive. It is sad, but it has a lot of lessons to teach us. It ends really well. I loved the book! Read it!

Summary: It Ranks Up There
Review: This Was an Emotinal book. It wasn`t about hoods that don`t care about anything. It was about life as a kind of person, like the greasers and that socs. Like the Have and Have Nots. It was a book that gets you pretty emotional. so it not just one of those stupid "Life as a dumb idiot hood." kind of books.

Rating:
Summary: Really Depressing
Review: Maybe the reason why I didn't like this book was because I was to young. I felt it was sad and gave a sort of hopless feeling at the end. However I can't help but like the point of view of the poor sides life. I found it to be cleaver and sad but not at all uplifting.

Rating:
Summary: This is one of the greatest books ever written
Review: This book reaaly touched me, and I know it touched the others that read this book with me in my 7th grade class. This book really gives you an inside look on life of the "not so rich but happy" society. If you ever take the time to read and get involved in a book, please, let it be this one.

Summary: GREAT AND EMOTIONAL!!!
Review: This book had me in tears. I couldn't put it down. S.E Hinton is a great writer. Remeber she wrote this when she was 16. This is for someone in their tenns who does or doesn't like to read. Its about the Socials and the Greasers. Socs are wealthy with madras and nice cars, while greasers have long greasy hair.

Summary: "The best, read it!"
Review: I thought the outsiders was awesome. This book is about 3 brothers,stone hard Darryin his 20's, cool Sodapop 17, and the main caracter confused Ponyboy Curtis 14, and thier four rough and tumble friends.The friends include my personal favorite Johnny 16,to Pony Johnny is a lost puppy.Also Darry 17,never does anything legal exept ride in rodeos,Also Soda's best friend Steve 17,And then thier is good ol' two bit. I felt like I was right next to ponyboy,considering I am 14 as well as pony I kind of saw his point of veiw, even though his life is a lot harder than mine. In ponyboys life thier is two kinds off people greasers and Socials Ponyboy and his gang are greasers. But Pony learns they are all people with normal problems not greasers or socs.
