Summary: Read a more than good, but a G-R-E-A-T book, The Outsiders
Review: I DON'T REALLY LIKE TO READ BOOKS A LOT (ONLY IF I HAVE TO READ FOR SCHOOL)BUT THIS ONE FASINATE ME A LOT. IT HAD THINGS TO DO WITH THINGS THAT OVERTIME HAPPEN A LOT MORE. ONE OF THE PLACES I USE TO LIVE AT I HEARD GUN SHOTS FROM GANGS. I DID NOT KNOW THAT GANGS WERE VIOLENT LIKE TODAY'S BACK IN THE 60S. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD BOOK AND OFFER IT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO ADULTS. HAVE A GREAT TIME READING.

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: In the bok The Outsiders, I believe that it shows a real,beievable,teenage life that relates to todays society. It shows different cliques, and how they live against eachother, like how the real world is, and shows about consequences of your own actions, which we need today for our citizens. I feel that this is a type of book that shows you abo9ut the real world, written like it came from the real world.

Summary: Yo man this is the best book ever!
Review: This is the first favorite book i have ever read. I enjoyed the whole thing. When i started reading it i felt like it was a movie or something. the confusing part of the story is that they used lots of 50's or 60's slang terms in there. (E.G. heater is a gun.) This book is about gangs so if you are a person who likes movies you should read this.

Summary: Awesome Outsiders!
Review: This book was really good. My teacher said I would like it, but I wasn't sure. It really hit home with me though because we have gangs in our schools today. I didn't know that in the olden days they also had gangs to worry about. it goes to show that our parents may have had some of the same problems we do. I really liked the characters in the story and I'm glad Ponyboy didn't die. I was really surprised when Mrs. Goodin told us that the author was a woman. She wrote the book when she was young.

Summary: Stick with the Book (Ignore the Movie)
Review: I really love this book, which I first read one year ago. The characters are portrayed as actual humans, and the writing style (while slightly annoying at times) is very true to S.E. Hinton's form. The plot is great yet simple, unlike the movie which is basically a random sequence of events. With the book, you can figure out who the characters are.

Summary: A Classic for Young Adults
Review: S.E. Hinton's classic 'The Outsiders' is a book that should be required reading for High School students. The characters involved in 'The Outsiders' traverse the spectrum of social classes and family functionality. Though times have mostly changed in regards to Greasers and Socials (since Hinton wrote 'The Outsiders'), the message for peace amongst adolescents remains. There was equal misunderstanding between the groups that was met with equal vitriol towards the other, and in the end, young adults got hurt. 'The Outsiders' is a classic book, which tells a tragic story that has a timeless message.

Summary: A great book
Review: Outsiders is the definetly the best book I have read so far. this book was the one that made me read a lot more books in the outsiders I have found the key that reading could be very exciding and interesting. The outsiders is a book about two gangs greasers the poor guys and socials the rich ones. The main characters are Ponyboy, Soda and Johny (first when I heard the names I thought it is going to be boring). The greasers feel and and are being pushed out by the socials because the socs are so rich. Then one night something happens tha changes everyones life especialy Ponyboys and Johnys...

Summary: A Real Outsider
Review: This book is a breath taking story of unbreakable friendships, heroism, brotherly love, hardships, life, crime, and most of all, feeling like and outsider. In this book I garenty you will find something you can relate to. I fell in love with Ponyboy and all his friends and family from the begging. Even though I didn't grow up in a bad neighborhood as a greaser in the 60's, or was involved with a murder, I can see the human in Ponyboy, and I feel like I know him. I've read the book at least five times (in 1 or 2 days each) and I own the movie. Just writting about about the story gives me shivers. S.E. Hinton's writting is so beautifully descriptive, exciting, funny, and heartwarming, once you start reading this book you can't stop. This book isn't some stupid fantasy, this is a realistic story of hard, true life.I was shocked to find out S.E. Hinton was only 16 years old when she wrote this book! You'll believe and love every minute of the mind blowing diary of Ponyboy Curtis. Hopefully you'll be as thrilled with it as I was.
Fondyly,
A Real Outsider
