Summary: All About Outsiders
Review: Teenage boys get picked on by the school jocks. Because they don't have rich parents. They have 2 different groups and they hate eachother. And they're the east and west side groups. And if their seen on their territory they get beat up by the jocks. Almost or in the middle of the they have a rumble on whose the best on each side. I like it when they save the kids from the burning church and the the part I didn't like was where his friend burns his back and dies from it. Because of why he was saving the kids from the burning church. This book is really good and I do recommend other people to read this book, because it's about courage, and other emotional problems. In this book they can get courage from it and not to even be scared of the bullies. (...)I like Ponyboy, because he as not like those other guys in the group. He had more manners than the other guys and he was nice to this girl. I don't think I hate any character in the book. He made the readers feel what the characters felt when they were scared or having problems. The reason why i love this book, is because the teenage boys have many problem like us. And they don't know how to deal with it. He made me feel like i was their watching what they went through. He had a good writing for the book. The way he wrote it i could see what was happening in the book. i liked the writing because it made sense to me when i read the book. He may have interviewed someone with this kind of problems or wrote about his childhood life.

Summary: Nice Read
Review: I found this book to be an enjoyable read. It was easy, yet the chapter endings got me hooked into the story. This could be a light read over a couple days if you're bored, but it's nothing amazing and if you see it, i suggest you give it a try.

A greaser, needs to watch his back. Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers. They get in lots of scuffels and arguments. Then one night when his friend kills a soc. The murder gets to him, teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser.

Summary: A truly awesome book that everyone MUST read
Review: I loved this story. I watched the movie before reading it, and I was ready to cry. I'm usually strong, so I don't cry because of movies and books. But I nearly had to make an exception. It was very moving, so I couldn't wait to read the book. I fell in love with the story right from the start. It reinforces my belief that you shouldn't label or treat people unfairly.It's about two greasers named Ponyboy and Johnny. Socs were in war with the greasers 4ever. But Johnny went too far. He killed a Soc trying to defend Pony's life. Then they were on the run for a week. Then a church set on fire, and little kids were in danger.

Ponyboy and the kids get out OK, but Johnny got burned badly and had a broken back from a piece of timber falling on him. What happens to Johnny, Dally, and Ponyboy... Well find out by reading this rad book!

Summary: Touching with a Message for All Kids
Review: Imagine living in the neighborhoods of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Imagine living not in a nice, clean house, but a small, old and rundown place. Ponyboy is an execellent example of a teen who has more to live for than fighting alongside his friends and brothers in a feud between rival gangs: Greasers and the Socials. The Greasers represent the less fortunate group of teens, who have no money, no adequate education, and most of all, a loving family. Ponyboy, as one of the youngest members of the Greasers, thinks about the reality he dwells in. He realizes that with his parents gone, it was up to his older brothers, Sodapop and Darry, to raise him well and love him. Sodapop, being the friendliest of them all, nurtures Ponyboy with love and dedication. Darry, on the other hand, is the oldest and most strictest of them all. Often correcting Ponyboy for his mistakes, Ponyboy in a way dislikes that side of Darry. However, Pony realizes that Darrys' reason for his tough exterior is because he assumes the role as the man of the house. It is his responsibility to raise Ponyboy and Sodapop so that they may grow up to be successful. Ponyboy at first seems like a weak, stoic, and shy type of teen. But, as this episode of the story progresses further, he becomes metally strong and sticks to what is right. In the midst of maturing into a young adult, he encounters enemies and friends. His best friend, Johnny, is younger, but is more like an older brother to Ponyboy. It is they who stick together until the end, evermore expressing how powerful their friendship is. Reading The Outsiders is a must for all kids of any age. It is books like this, that will help young children and teens grow up heading towards a successful adulthood, because the latter stage in life is deeply affected by the former stage. Reading this, a person may come to realize that growing up is difficult and requires strength, sacrifice, honesty, and courage. This will help children prepare for whatever their life may unfold.

Summary: The Outsiders Review
Review: Boys struggle with real life problems as they navigate difficult teenage years,
May 12, 2004
Reviewer: akdancer, from Wilmette Junior High School, Illinois.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton shows the difficult coming of age events one boy has to face. The Socs were the rich kids, who had it all. They were never satisfied with their lives, and always wanted more. The Greasers from the other side of tracks are stereotypical bad boys. Ponyboy a Greaser lives with his brothers. One day Ponyboy and his friend Johnny decide to talk to the Socs girlfriends. The Socs disapprove and beat them up, just for socializing with the girls. A Soc boy tries drowning Ponyboy, but Johnny grabs him off and kills him. The Greasers know immediately that they must run away in order to escape being caught by the police. Ponyboy and Johnny hide in a church. After a few days, Johnny wants to return home and confess their crime. Before they leave, one of their cigarettes lights the church on fire and a few little children get trapped inside. Johnny and Ponyboy get the kids out in the nick of time to save their lives, but Johnny gets seriously hurt. The town calls them heroes. Johnny is rushed to the hospital on the verge of death. This suspenseful book fills readers with excitement, tragedy, and many emotions. "The Outsiders" was an amazing book, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good cry.
