Summary: A Classic for Teens!!!!
Review: The Outsiders is a great book which deals with important issues: poverty, death, and gangs. Ponyboy Curtis is a 'greaser' (someone who is poor and lives on the east side of town) and is constantly at war with the soc's (the rich people who live on the west side of town). Ponyboy lives with his two older brothers, Darry and Soda, and they watch out for little Ponyboy. The only other people Ponyboy can count on, are his gang/buddies. One night Ponyboy and Johnny commit murder and leave the town and go into the country. From this point in the book on, tragedy happens to people all around Ponyboy.The Outsiders shows the difficulties one can go through when someone a person loves dies. The book also shows the hardships people who live in poverty and bad neighborhoods can go through. I recommend this book to all teenagers. There are many points in the book where I could not put the book down. If you are looking for a book full of suspense and action, then The Outsiders is for you! HAPPY READING!

Summary: Great
Review: I read this when I was 13 and loved it. I've gone back and read other books I loved at that age, and some are as good as I remember, and some are awful to read with adult eyes. I have not gone back and read THE OUTSIDERS, so am giving my memory of it as I read it at age 13. I loved it when I read it then. I started it on a car trip to Universal Studios, that I was greatly looking forward to. So was amazed that when my family arrived at Universal Studios, I didn't want to get out of the car, because that would mean having to put the book down!

Summary: I love this book!!
Review: When I first started reading The Outsiders in reading class I finished the book that day. I couldn't put it down. It is so awesome. I love it. It is now my favorite book. Believe me if I could put more than five stars I would put a million. This book touch my heart of the teens in this book and their terrible lifes. The characters are so real and you can some how relate them to yourself. My favorite is Johnny because his life is so difficult and just wants to fit in. I also like Ponyboy because he is the main character. Well I have nothing else to say but READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

Summary: The Best Book!
Review: Well, my teacher, Mrs. Goodin, told me that i would really like this book so we started reading it in class. Right away I knew it was going to be a great book. The ending was like the best part but its the what happened in between that makes it all come together. I loved this book and I encourage everyone to read it. AND LISTEN TO YOUR TEACHERS!!! My teacher always tells me to read good books, and when I think about it and decide not to, I always end up regreting it. But when I do read them, I ALWAYS end up loving them. So...always listen when your teachers tell you to read books like The Outsiders and you WON'T regret it!

Summary: Great Book
Review: The Outsiders is a great book based in the day's of the Greasers. In the day's of when either you were rich and had it all in life, or you were from the other side of the tracks and were looked down upon. The book mainly focuses on the two gangs the Socs (the rich kids) and the Greasers (the poor kids). Booth of these gangs have to struggle to see who is better. This is a great book because it talks about how life was realy like back in those days. It wasn't all moon light and roses. I think everyone can relate to at least one thing in this book, there is something in it for everyone. I recomend it to everyone young and old.

Summary: A review of The outsiders
Review: We meet Ponyboy Curtis at the corner of Pickett and Sutton and he has only two things on his mind, Paul Newman and a ride home. Over the next two weeks, Ponyboy's life is changed forever. He questions the wall between Socials and greasers. Soc's have everything which makes them beat up greasers for fun. The greasers, including Pony, have nothing but each other. Their gang includes Ponyboy and his two older brothers Soda and Darry, Dally, Two-Bit, Steve and Johnny. Sixteen year old Johnny, who resembles a lost, unloved puppy who has been kicked too many times, and Pony take it too far one night and end up running away in fear for their lives. Ponyboy and Johnny struggle to "stay golden," when the easiest way to survive is not to have feelings.
These boys take a startlingly real trip and realize you can see the sunset from the West side and the East side; he starts seeing both sides of the picture. Life is tough wherever you are. I recommend this suspenseful action book to every one; it will make you laugh through your tears.

Summary: The best book!
Review: I think the book, Outsiders was an awsum book. I'm fifteen and I don't usually read, but when I started to read this book I could put it down. Its about these boys trying to make the best out of there lives and ya they get into some trouble, but in the end they come out heroes. I thought it was a good book because its real life. This book just shows the truth about life and how kids live it. Yes I have to agree that we don't alway live it the safe way, but it sure is the truth about how kids treat other kids on the way they look or dress and not on how nice and sweet they are.

Summary: The Outsiders - Great book.
Review: There's a struggle between the two gangs, the greasers and the socs in this city. The socs are rich, and get away with almost anything they do, but the greasers are always aware and frightened. The socs are always out to get them, but the greasers work together to protect eachother. Ponyboy and Johnny were part of the smallest of the gang and are best friends.
One night, a few socs comes up to them in a park, and starts drowning Ponyboy, so Johnny pulls out his blade, and kills a soc, and the others run away. After that, they have to protect eachother, and find help from the gang because they couldnt get away with it. Then, something happens that changed their lives... This was a great book for all readers. Very recommended to teenagers. Has lots of action, and friendship involved. You understand more about the importance of life and friends.

Summary: A Wonderful Book
Review: I read this book this year for my Literature class and it was one of the best books I have ever read. I didn't want to read it at first, but now I love this book and hope to read all of S.E. Hinton's books(She is a wonderful author). The movie is also wonderful and is done brilliantly. But as usual the book was much better. Even though all of the characters were boys Hinton did a great job expressing their feelings so you could relate to them even if you were a girl.

Summary: If you haven't read this book , then you must!
Review: This is one of those books where you can't stop reading it! It is a fiction story but seems to be based on the reality of gangs in life. I was soo sad when i finished because i wanted there to be more. S.E. Hinton has written six wonderful young adult books, and i encourage you to read them all. She wrote this book at the age of 16 which is absolutly unbelievable. This book inspired me to read more because it shows that books can be 100 times better than tv. All the characters seem so real. Ponyboy has been my favorite character from all of the books i have ever read.
