Summary: A classic that sits along side "Grapes of Wrath"
Review: This book was introduced to me in Jr. High School back in 1977 and it was the first and only book that I completely identified with.....and it still holds true to this day. The story and characters were and still are so powerful that I named my son after the character "Dallas". I am glad it is still being read in schools today. I know most kids identify with it and can learn something about themselves through it. Taking this further into the music industry, I recommend listening to early Bruce Springsteen, who himself was a greaser. His songs are tiny books that reflects the spirit of "The Outsiders"

Summary: One of the most heart breaking stories you'll ever read.
Review: Picture youself at age 14, living in an old run down house; your parents dead, and your two older brothers, ages 16 and 20, working to keep you in school. Well that's the life of Ponyboy in "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton. You really feel like you're there with Darry, Soda Pop, Ponyboy, and their friends (gang). The story devlops around their conflict with the "Soc", another group of teens whose name comes from the fact that they rich and have a higher social status. When Ponyboy and Johnny start to hang out with Cherry one of the "soc", things start to heat up. Then something tragic happens. As Ponyboy and the other members deal with the consequences you realize how this gang acts. Then you know "Outsiders" are not all that bad. This book really keeps you reading. If you're not the type that reads a lot I recommend this book to you. You'll get hooked.

Summary: I Memorized this book!
Review: I am 15 years old. I absolutely love S. E. Hinton! I have read three of her books, The Outsiders being my first. This book, along with Rumble Fish, has encouraged me to write a book of my own. I reccomend this book and others written by Ms. Hinton to all readers. Not just "young adults" This book caught my attention very quickly, and I was so absorbed into the character's life, I read the entire thing in 1 hour. I enjoy reading this book and I have read it so many times that I tend to memorize the lines. I love you, Susie! -Megan

Summary: Spectacular! Magnificent! And just downright AWESOME!
Review: WOW! I cannot imagine how such a young girl can write such a good book! I first saw it in my school library a few years ago and I thought it was going to be one of those stupid gang-violence books. I was required to buy it for Lit. class 'cause we had to write notes in it and stuff and letme tell you this me and my fellow classmates LOVED it ( thanks Miss Cassels! ). Now I take my copy w/ me everywhere and read it 20+ times and still I can't seem to get enough! I know Ms. Hinton always says she'll never write a sequel, but I'm praying she'll change her mind. After we read it we watched the movie in school, and not so long after that I bought the video, and watching it as I speak ( type? Oh well ). So to make a long story short ( although I think its a little too late for my case )I'll sum up my review in three words: READ THE BOOK! -GabbieXena (Kym) oxxx|------>

Summary: The class of 2001 thinks you should check this book out!!!!
Review: Hi! My name is Eve Orellana of Anderson California. When I read this book, it really captivated my mind of how things would be if I lived in that book. If I was any character, I would probably be ponyboy. Like him I am sensitive. I'm into books. I really love books. And once in a while I watch the sun set. I really love this book. I have read it so many times that my brother thinks that book is brainwashing me. But I don't really care. I even bought the book. I really think that this book should recive an award.

Summary: A beautiful book!
Review: This is probably the best book I have ever read, and I've read millions. Ponyboy is a character who is very easy to relate to-- no matter who you are. Concentrating on the life of Ponyboy, a fourteen-year-old growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, this book is nothing if not perfect. The prose is beautiful, making you really feel like you're a greaser wh likes to watch sunsets. At the end, you can understand what happened and that without the hatred between the greasers and socs three young boys wouldn't be dead. This book will always be a classic. 30 years after it's publication, I read it and loved it. 30 years from now teenagers will read it and love it. I can't possibly make everybody in the world read this book, but if I could, I would. This is the kind of book that can change a person's entire outlook on life-- for the better.
