The Outsiders

Summary: Entertaining and exciting the best book I ever read
Review: The Outsiders by S.E.Hinton was truly the best book I have ever read. By the end of the novel I was so wrapped up in the book I was sad that the book had ended. The words that the autor used made you feel like you were actually part of the book and knew the characters. The book was very moving,both funnyand sad.I would catch myself laughing outloud at some of the parts in the book, and at other parts crying. It seemed as I was reading the that S.E.Hinton had experienced all the things she was writing about by the way she wrote them, by reading the book you would assume she was in a gang or had a best friend die in a fire or even rob a store. So these are my reasons for rating the book a 10 and telling the world it is the best book I have ever read

Summary: delightful
Review: though i found this book a tad unrealistic(the boys in it are gang members but they all seem sensative and cry at the drop of a hat)i really got into it and i'm not ashamed to say i cry my eyes out when johnny died in the book and in the movie

Summary: Probably the best book I've ever read!!!
Review: I wouldn't rate this a "10", more like and 11 or 12!!! It's too good to be true. As a 13 year old who loves to read and try new books, this one was great. My teacher told us that we would be reading it and I just couldn't wait!! I'd heard it was wonderful and was waiting to get my hands on it. Once I got to the second chapter I couldn't put it down. It was a major page turner. I recommend that anyone of any age read this book because the author describes the characters in an amazing way. I don't think that I have read any other books in which the author's decriptions created a more real person in my mind. For someone that wants to become an author (like myself) this book helped me to appreciate wonderful writing. Staci Swanson

Summary: Gonna rope me a Ponyboy
Review: I read the Outsiders for the first time two years ago whenI was in grade eight, and many more since then. The onlything I can say is that I have never read a better book! Every time I read it, I get this totally warm feeling, like I know the characters (which I pretty much do since I've also seen the movie three times; by the way, if you haven't seen it, SEE IT. It's excellent! In fact, I just ordered my own copy yesterday.) This book is a light for so many kids because it's raw truth; this kind of discrimination happens all the time everywhere,and this book makes you aware of it.

Living with his two older brothers, Sodapop and Darry, and hanging with his gang the greasers, he relizes that life is pretty tough.

Review: This book represents adolesants dealing with poverty and prejudice very well. It shows us how kids deal with being poor and treated as a minority. I recommend it to people of all ages.

Rating:
Summary: I think that this book was one of the best books I've read.
Review: I think that this was an outstanding book and that I would recommend it to almost any one from 10 to 100 I also think that some of S.E. Hinton has some other outstanding books like Rumble Fish, I think that all of S.E. Hinton's books are very good. I wish that I could read books as good all the time.
