The Outsiders

Rating:
Summary: Read this book!!!
Review: This was one of the best books I've ever read. I had to read this story for a freshman english class. I normally hate reading books for classes, cause they are always pathetic, but this book was wonderful. I recommend it, if you don't have to read this book for school, ask your teacher if you can, or go to the library and get it. By the way, watch the movie, that's also one of the best movies I've ever seen (Ponyboy looks good as a blonde or as a brunette)

Summary: One of the best book written!
Review: Even though that this book was about gangs, it was still very emotional. The character were vivid and realistic. It teaches what real friendship means because that's what Ponyboy and his friends have

Summary: The Outsiders- a gut wrenching tale of the East side kids
Review: The book "The Outsiders," though written when S.E. Hinton was but 16 years old is an emotional tale of a group of teenagers growing up on "the wrong side of the tracks." Growing up, the story's main character and narrator, faces adversity from his enemies, the socs, and even his teachers. After the main character's parents die, his older brother Darry is forced to work to provide. When Ponyboy's best friend kills a soc, they must flee their town. The suspense S.E. Hinton puts in this novel is great. There are many hidden meanings. You, as the reader, must take it for as you read it. Some may think that the book was purely entertainment, while yet another may get a life lesson from it. "The Outsiders" is a truly great book good for all people of all ages. Read it today

Summary: Interesting to read, but you will never want to see the end
Review: It wasn't the most entertaining and interesting book I have ever read, but it was the best book I read as a school assignment. Hinton had a good description to important characters. My favorite person in this book is Dallas Winston(Dally). I kind of hate the sad ending, though. It was a great written piece for a girl in 16-year-old age

Summary: Heart gripping page turner that just DEMANDED to be read!
Review: in 8th grade lang arts we were forced to read "That Was Then, This Is Now". I just HATED it. I thought the ending was stupid and unthought over. but i liked the style in which the book was written, there fore, i went to my library and go out "The Outsiders". Now this book, I LOVED. It ended beautifully although two people did die. the sadness added to the beauty. and the song, "Stay Gold" really, really touched me. i was crying full force by the time i was done. This book, was wonderful. It, and "Tex" are my favorite books in the entire world!

Summary: Awe inspiring
Review: Based on the recommendation that it was the only book my brother has ever read from start to finish, I picked it up at school. If you don't like to read much, then make this one of the few that you *do* read. I guarantee that you won't be able to put it down. Don't get the movie out first - read the book. The movie doesn't explain about the relationships between the brothers the way that the book does - and since this is the basis of the book, then it kind of misses the point. Don't get me wrong - it's still a good movie, but then since it's based on this, then it could hardly fail - especially with the cast that it has!! Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise (pre caps), C Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio... The list goes on... Enjoy!

Summary: This book is soo amazing, even though the writer was just 15
Review: A few weeks ago someone in a chat room told me to read the book The Outsiders because it was really good. A couple years ago my aunt gave me a book, it looked old and not very interesting, when the boy in the chat room told me to read it I decided to give it a try, I started reading it and coundn't put it down! my parents both read it when they were kids and liked it a lot, wow i have somethimg in common with my parents-weird. Now I think The Outsiders is the best book i've ever read-and is so true about what it's like to be a teen. -Sarah Caswell

Summary: Review of: "The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton
Review: I think that this book is really worth reading. We read it in our Language Arts classes and everybody (I said EVERYBODY) liked it very much. It teaches us about love, and people, something about life, and gang culture. I recommend it to everybody!!!!! Sebastia

Summary: Great!
Review: I read this book as a teenager at school and was blown away by the story. Also watching the movie with a very young Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze made it even better. The Outsiders is still one of my favourite books and I'm 25 years old
