Summary: review of the outsiders
Review: I loved this book. I first read this book in the 7th grade, and have read it many times since then. this book is about the relationships and bond between 7 boys between the ages of 14-21. One night the two youngest boys get into trouble with the law. They get into a fight with the"socs", the upperclass snobs, which results in one of the boys killing a soc. While running from the police the boys learn more than they ever would in school. All in all I LOVE THIS BOOK! I recommend this book to kids above the age of 12 because it does contain some violence but I also reccomend it to girls and guys. I know you'll enjoy it, I sure did!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: The Outsiders was an excellent book! It's touching story is inspiring and riviting. It shows that there is always a ray of hope in any situation that a young person(or anyone in this case)can face in the harsh world of reality. It explains how words can either touch or hurt any person, no matter what race, religion, or social statis. The Outsiders is extremely moving with it's tale of brother hood and togetherness. Therefore I rate this story by S.E. Hinton with five stars for it's remarkable story of friendship.

Summary: Made me cry...
Review: This is the best book I've read my whole life. It is such a beautiful story with such a deep and wonderful message for every single teenager in the world. When I saw the cover of this book, I thought it was just going to be about hot guys that have girlfriends and are rich, but I was wrong. I was amazed and shocked with myself when I noticed tears running down my cheeks. I cried a lot when I finished reading this book, and now that I'm writing this and remembering all that happened in that book, I can't control myself and tears and running down very quickly. If I ever have a chance to talk or to meet S.E. Hinton, I would probably tell her all I felt when I read that book. She had broken my heart with all this and I want to thank her for making such and amazing and beautiful book. I would recommend this book to everyone I know including everyone single soul in this Earth.

Summary: The Best!!
Review: I've seen both great praise and great criticism for this book, and I'd like to add...
I first encountered this book in 8th grade English class. I didn't know if I'd like it at first, but by the end of the year, I had read it three times. The writing is superb. You feel like you are right there with Ponyboy. There is a sense of understanding that you can gain from this book that is very real. Some may say the situations are inappropriate for children; I don't believe they are teaching violence, but rather how important friendship is and that it is possible to make good out of a bad situation. If violence is a large concern for you, you may desire to stay away from this book. Personally, I will never forget this book; the characters are practically part of my life now. If you haven't read this one yet, what are you waiting for?????

Summary: GOOD BOOK!!!!!
Review: The outsiders is a good book. It isn't the best that I ever read, but is a book that have a deep message about social differences. The problem that Ponyboy have, is really difficult; his strong frienship strings to Jhonny, shows how important is to have a friend. I really recomend you to read this book because it will give you a reflection about the differences on the social classes, and how importan is the tolerance

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: The Outsiders is about three brothers who must try to stick together in a rough neighborhood. The youngest brother is trying to find his identity and role in society while going through many ordeals such as trouble with the police and fights between the "Socials" and the "Greasers." I believe that this book conveys many important values along with scenes common in our society today. There are disputes between different social classes as well as acts of heroism shown by Ponyboy at the burning church. The book starts out introducing the main characters and a little background on their place in society. The narrator, Ponyboy, is one of three brothers who lost their parents in a car accident. The oldest brother takes care of them and teaches them many values, which brought the brothers into a respectable life. Many events bring Ponyboy closer to realizing how other people think and where exactly he belongs.The American Library Association lists The Outsiders as one of the top 100 challenged books of 2000-2001 around the country. They reported it being banned for its violence, profanity, and drinking. I found absolutely no profanity in the book, although it does contain some violence and drinking. But the narrator in the book even criticizes drinking and prefers to avoid fights. One surprising point was that although the "greasers" carried around knives, they never use them to fight with. If they were going to fight, they used their fists instead of deadly weapons. This book should not have been banned because it critiques objectionable behaviors and certainly does not promote any of them.
