Summary: Best book Ever Side A.R !!!!!!
Review: I likeed the book alot i think that you are very cretive athor and should keep on working on making more books about young adults today and how that time eriod has changed. Something that I really didnt like was all of the bad things that went on. My favorite charactors were Soda-Pop and Cherry Valance.I liked those actors because they move I thought that the movie was much,much better than the book. I think that this book is like Dead Warning because it kind of is about the same topic about teens that are doing bad things. I would recommend this book to any one who likes books about teens.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: I loved this book. It was interesting, intriguing, and suspenful. It has a great moral that many people should take to heart and if they did the world would be a much better place. You will fall in love, as I have, with Soda, Ponyboy, Johnny, and many more. The book has one part when you can kind of tell that it was written by a 16 year old pupil (and it was when it was written) because the story kind of penetrated the set stage and was somewhat hrad to follow. It is a really great book, and I recommend to everyone, especially people who do not have a high self-esteem. I need to shut up now so that I don't give anything away, but this book will always stay gold.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book Review ever!
Review: I loved this book so much! You can really tell the difference between then and now. It really makes you think that there really are people (kids) out there going through all this drama.

Summary: Th real world
Review: This story really connects with reality. as a 7th grader, school is a lot like that (just without the switch bades, rings, murder, drugs, smoking, etc) they're is a lot of rivalry and stuff. In fifth grade, i moved to a new city and I had moved from a cathloc school into a whole new enviorment: Public school. People didn't like me because I was diffrent. I didn't swear, listen to they're type of music, or learn they're type of 'hood' vocabulary. I can understand what Ponyboy (what kind of name is that?) Soda (again, what kind of..) and the rest of the gang went through. this is a good book but could refrain from the violence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Truth
Review: This is a classic tale of the "preps", as we call them now, and the not-so-popular kids. Even today, there are the rich kids, who wear nice clothes and have nice friends and family, and then there's the poor kids, who have less than their share. To me, Ponyboy doesn't seem rough and ready to fight, he's just trying to protect his fellow Greasers. It's amazing how they stick up for each other like that. Most "friends", as they call themselves, don't have enough guts to stick up for their friends nowadays. It takes true courage to be a Greaser like Ponyboy and Johnny. Pony's willing to help Johnny even though he didn't do anything to kill that soc. That, to me, is a true friendship. This is an amazing book and all readers, old and young, can learn a lesson from it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If your child does not like to read . . .
Review: This is a book that will appeal to almost any young reader. I have taught The Outsiders to my middle school students for 10 years, and I have yet to meet a single one who has not enjoyed the book.

The book is written at an easy-to-read level, with a very conversational style. The kids find it very engaging. They can't believe it when they find out that Susan Eloise Hinton wrote this book when SHE was a teenager!

The basic conflict of the novel, Greasers vs. Socs, is a conflict you will find in almost any school in America. The labels may be different, but the premise is the same. The book is a great springboard for conversations about gangs, non-traditional families, abuse, viloence, friendship, prejudice, and teenage life.

I highly recommend this book, especially to "reluctant" young readers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Outsiders - A New Perspective
Review: This book was very good. For once, some one put the perspective from some one who's poor, not so popular, and goes through difficult times. It is a very hard life for Ponyboy Curtis, yet he makes it through. This book is also a tear-jerker near the end. I think, overall, it was a good book. I reccomend it to anyone who feels left out sometimes! That makes pretty much all of you...
