Summary: The Outsiders
Review: I'm buying this book today for my 10 year old son. I first read this book when I was 12 and it is still my favorite book. I have always thought about the poem in the book about staying gold. That speaks volumes to me and I hope my son can appreciate it as much as I have. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to share this wonderful book with my son and I hope other parents out there will think about doing this. This book has so many hidden messages and wisdoms that I think every child should read it.

Summary: O's Thoughts on The Outsiders
Review: As an avid fan of track and field, I like things that are fast. In this case, I like books that are quick to get to the point. Never have I read a book so packed with action in only the first chapters of reading. Miss Hinton at the tender age of sixteen did a very good job keeping readers who hate slow plots very interested in the book. Pony is a very nice charter, who is sort of a mild thug. I say "mild thug," because of his associates, the greasers; a group of people who Pony admits are often involved with stealing. Although Pony in involved with them, he is a very good student, and is a lot more articulate than his brethren. Pony boy, who is suppose to be part of a tuff gang of guys, enjoys getting up early to watch the sunset, and confesses to going to movies alone so he can analyze the plot and critique the acting without the worry of having to socialize with his friends. There was not a chapter that went by that did not leave me in suspense. Even the last chapter left me wanting more, I personally wish that S.E. Hinton would make sequel. This book has drama; it has murders, fires, and love. The best part of the whole book is the big brawl between the greasers and the socs, or "socials," the greasers rival gang. It was while I was reading about the preparation of the rumble that I learned that "bringing heat", meant bringing guns. I recommend this book to anyone who likes lots of action in a well-plotted plot.Just for the record, my favorite character is Randy, a soc, and a very reasonable kid. After the death of his friend Bob, he tells pony that he is sick of the whole gang business, and people just need to live to enjoy life. I wish people just lived to enjoy life, or watch the sun set. He he.

Summary: Outsiders
Review: The outsiders is an excellent book. Don't know why people would rate it bad. it is all symbolism. and if it is mentioned in a 'real' way, it would not be symbol. all those exagerrated stories are a way of describing. and not to be believed as it is. only simple minded people would think that way. you have to think deeply to it.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This was a book I had to read in High School. Though I wan't anavid reader, I loved it! Probably because it reminded me of therivalry... in my own High School. The narrator is Ponyboy, sensitivewith a tough exterior. Since his parents are deceased, he and hislaid-back older brother Soda are taken care of Darrel the eldest,who's a bossy perfectionist (really only worried that he might losehis baby brothers). There's Johnny Cade, whose family life isinsufferable. There's Dallas Winston, mean and gruff (but has a softspot for Johnny). And then there are the Soc's, the spoiled kids wholike to pick on the greasers for fun... And let's not forget CherryValence, who though dating a Soc has a heart and a mind all herown. ...go read the story! You won't be disappointed!

Summary: reader
Review: An absoulutly horrible book. The plot is both much too violent and exceeds the bounds of beleivability. The characters range from absoultly fake in mannerism to outright sick, I beleive that the author his by far exceeded the bounds of good taste. For those who are fans of books that feature vast amounts of mindless violence presented in a most unsavory manner, I highly recommend this book. For anyone else, I must say that it would be best to leave this kind of book to those who fit the first description.

Summary: Read This Book!
Review: The first time I read this book was in 8th grade, but it is still my favorite book today. S.E. Hinton wrote an amazing piece of literature in this book. The characters are so complete that it's easy to feel as if you know them. Any person who came from the wrong side of town, has ever been looked down upon, or almost anyone who is or has ever been a teenager will love this book. I have never met a person who did not like this book. Although it is sad, it will ultimately leave you feeling happy and fulfilled.

Summary: A great book
Review: The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, is a great book to read. It has some adventure in it, a good plot, and it tells some hard times of it. Ponyboy and his friends, or the Greasers, are always fighting against the richer kids called Socs. The Greasers are friends that always stick together no matter what happens to them. Some of the Socs on the other hand, don't really care themselves. Those Socs only care about getting drunk and jumping the Greasers. Ponyboy and Johnny are on the run from the fuzz, or police, for awhile because Johnny had killed one of the Socs. Now there's going to be a big rumble, or fight, against the Greasers and the Socs. If you want to find out more about this book, you'll have to read it.
