Review: The book is great. The story is about ponyboy. Ponyboy lost his parents and only has his two brothers and his gang as family now. Johnny, his best friend, gets in trouble and they are forced to do some suspensful stuff. I recommend this book to everybody, all ages. Its full of suspense and action as well.

Summary: I recommend the book ...
Review: I think that The Outsiders is a great book, the reader can relate to a lot of issues in this book. I really liked the book because it goes deep inside the readers. The work that S.E. Hinton did when she wrote the book is excellent ( plus she was 16 years old ). The characters of the book are so real that the reader will find someone with the same characteristics.

Summary: A very realistic book!
Review: I really recommend The Outsiders because it is a book filled with real life situations. You find values and antivalues that make you think about the problem teens lived in the 60's and that they are basically the same that kids live now. I also see the book as a warning for parents, to prevent their kids from belonging to a gang and to really love and pay attention to what their kids do and who they hang out with. Hinton's books is still popular because it is very realistic.

Summary: The outsiders
Review: I recommend this book to all teenagers. This book shows the life of a bunch of teenagers with some home life problems. They learn to stick together and to help each other fight the "socks". They were just a preppy gang that they clashed with. The book will teach a kid some morals in life and to appreciate them. I think that this was an excellant book to read. I really don't recommend it to a younger person and I don't recomend it to a older person but great for a teen.

Summary: The Outsiders-What I think
Review: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, was such a good book! You would think it would be only for boys but it isn't. There is so much emotion that it's good for girls but there are lots of fights and action and gangs for boys. The genre is suspense.
When I started to read it I couldn't put it down. It was so suspensful! It was one of the best books I've ever read. My favorite characters were Ponyboy and Johnny. I like them because they are more sensitive than the other guys. I also like Sodapop, his brother, because he was nice.
The Socs, or the Socials who are rich, are so mean to the Greasers who are kind of poor. Their neighborhood is so violent, I am glad that I don't live there. I could picture how scary their neighborhood was because she wrote it so well. I also like Two-Bit, Steve, Darry, Johnny and Dallas. on the outside they are tough but on the inside they do care. Like Dallas, he looks like he doesn't care but near the end of the book you'll find out that he really does care.
The story starts with Ponyboy going to the movies by himself. on his way home the Socs found him and started beating him up. When he got home he was all beat up. The next day Johnny and Ponyboy went to the movies and after, they fell asleep in the grass and woke up really early in the morning. When he got home his older brother yelled at him. Ponyboy was going to run away with Johnny when they met up with the Socs.
To briefly say what happened, they were holding Ponyboy underwater and johnny had to stop them so he stabbed one of the Socs. They had to runaway. To find out if they got caught read the book.

Summary: Review of a great book!
Review: Have you ever wondered what being an outsider would be like? Living in constant fear that you might get caught and killed? What an experience that would be... and it's described perfectly in S.E. Hinton's book THE OUTSIDERS. So, sit back and listen to what I have to say!
In the beginning, the main character, Ponyboy, is explaining and setting up the story. He mentions an important part of the book. He was telling us how there were three social groups. The greasers were a poor, wild group, and they were the lowest class (he was in this class), middle class, and the "socs" (short for socials) who were spoiled, rich, people who like to jump "greasers" as a hobby. Ponyboy had two brothers, Sodapop and Darry. Ponyboy's parents had passed away and Darry was taking care of them. THey had to be good or Sodapop and Ponyboy could be taken away from Darry. If they weren't extra careful they could be sent to foster homes. One night when Johnny (another member of the "greaser" gang) and Ponyboy were under the stars, Ponyboy got home very late and his brother Darry got VERY angry. Darry was SO angry he slapped him! Ponyboy ran to find Johnny and then ran away to the park. Just their luck, a group of drunken "socs," pulled up. As they tried to drown Ponyboy, Johnny pulled out a knife in self-defense and stabbed one of them! What will happen? Will Johnny and Ponyboy be able to escape and stay away from the police? If you want to hear the answer to these questions, read this book, and you'll get quite a thrill. It will also teach you a great and important lesson.

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: As a high school student myself, 'The Outsiders' is a compelling novel with much lessons to offer. With a new twist in every chapter, 'The Outsiders' provides problems and solutions for the everyday teen. While violence is a reoccuring event in the novel, the lessons come with the solutions to those acts, many which pertain to self-discovery. The book clearly illistrates that there is no difference between our parents generations to ours because even then high school violence did occur. Having just completed this book at my age, I find it all the more compelling. We as teens see violence on television but it is more national, as compared to 'The Outsiders' which pertains to high school students everywehre, even close to home. The characters in the novel are very much like those of which I can relate to because they mention such defined groups. There is the "greasers" and the socs". While the generations have changed, we do not classify people as "greasers" or "socs", but groups exist and they exist in large numbers. I see these groups in our school, and the tension does exist. As much as we are told to be individuals and go our own ways, we are still all groups of people and 'The Outsiders' offers help and guidence in braking down the social walls. 'The Outsiders' is truely worthy of five stars and should be read for many years to come.

My best friend fell in love with Sodapop Dally! (I know, strange!) But if your looking for a good book to read I suggest this ine!

Summary: a discriptive non-stop page turner
Review: After I read the first sentence I thought it would be about a boy who likes to watch movies. But once I finished chapter one I new it was something a little bit more special than that. The outsiders is about two gangs in one town .The Greasers and the Socs (short for socials).The Greasers and Socs have contempt for each other, which is obvious with the language and the way they act towards one another. The book tells about how gang life can be and the effects of death on someone. The story is also about ponyboy and his brother darrel who fight alot. There are times when S.E.Hinton flashs back to fights and sad memories. If you haven't already read this book, let me just say that you are missing out. I suggest you read this book.

Summary: $The Outsiders$
Review: I think the book "Outsiders" is the best book I have ever read in a long time. I think you should read this book because it keeps you reading and you dont want to stop. It has a lot of action when the church on Jays mountain caught on fire. Johney, Dally and Ponyboy risked there life for four to five eight year old kids. The kids parents told Johney and his friends they were heros sent from god. there are to different groups the Soc. (the rich kids) and the Greasers that are(poor and they have no money) . I think everybody should read the book at least once.
