Summary: Yuck
Review: Definitly not reccomended. All this book does is glorify gangs, crime, drinking, and smoking yet my teacher continually tried to tell us what a great lesson it taught. Huh.

Summary: My favorite book of ALL time!
Review: I read this book 2 years ago when I was in the 8th grade. I never knew how much that book would touch my life. I read it ahead of what I was supposted to for an assignment because I simply couldn't put it down. This is the best book I have ever read, the movie isn't bad either!

Summary: this book is awesome!
Review: i really liked this book. it dealt with alot of cool issues and i also really liked the closeness of the group of friends. they all stuck up for each other and never really wanted anything bad to each other. they all lived by their own rules but got really good friendship values from situations where you usually wouldnt. the responsibility displayed by darry at his young age was also cool although it made him grow up too fast. ponyboy also displayed maturity beyond his years. although there were some elements that could be considered objectional they had a point and good meaning and everything had a reason for happening. this was one of the best books i ever read and i highly recommend this book to everyone. im not the most avid reader myself but once i picked this book up i couldnt stop reading it, literally i read all day at school after i started reading it that morning and finished it immediately after school. i dont think anyone couldnt like this book ((well maybe some adults, but you catch my drift)). its the kind of book that i think will still be around years after it was written ((which it already has been but i mean years from now)). this is probably THE best book ive ever read. so in closing- READ IT!((thats probably all i had to say in the first place to get my point across)) i could write alot more but it would probably be as long as the original book so again just read it!

Summary: Outstanding Outsiders
Review: Do you like to read about fights? If you do, the book "THE OUTSIDERS" by S.E.Hinton is for you. Well the fights are good but I also like other things. One other thing I like is the characters. The main characters are Ponyboy and Johnny. Ponyboy is fourteen years old. He is tough and confused but also sensitive. Johnny is the youngest of the GREASERS. The other characters are Two-Bit Mathews, Steve Randel, Sodapop, Dallas, Darrry, and a girl named Cherry they met at the thearter. This book is about the GREASERS who dislike the socials, and Ponyboy's best friend killing a social. It's a nightmare of violence. This is a good book, so go read it.

Summary: So amazing
Review: The book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton was amazing.It thought me so many things.My favorite part of the book was when Ponyboy and Johnny went into the church and saved the little kids.That was so heroic.Also when Dallas helped out Johnny.It showed that Dallas has a kind heart even though he seems tough on the outside.My comment on the book is that kidsthat love excitement and drama should read this book.

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: i am an guy who doesnt enojoy readin alot; however, this book just caught my attention from the begining since i started to read made me wanna keep on readin it. this book is about two gangs' street life, one is the Greasers and the other is the Socs. they dont like each other and always have problems against one an other. Ponyboy, the protagonist, one day got drowm by an Soc. and his friend, Johnny, killed the guy cuz he was worried if they might have killed Ponyboy. The climax started after that. they started to run away and they became heros from wanted murderers.

Summary: something I noticed
Review: I have loved this book for a long time. I first read it in 1984 and was always struck by the strength of the characters. Here is what I just noticed. Johnny is the Christ figure of this novel. He saves Ponyboy and the children trapped in the church and dies for this. When he leaves the church on their first morning he signs his initials in the dust of the church floor "J.C." Johnny Cade, Jesus Christ.
