Summary: Amazing
Review: I'm only 11 and when i read this book i wanted every other book by S. E. Hinton. She has a talent to put down words that i can't. Ponyboy has a rugh life his parents death, his best friend Johnnys death, and Dally being shot down by the cops. I have two copies of the book both with different covers, but in a way they discribe the same thing. i could not put the book down, my head inhaled the words slowly at first but quicker, as i began more and more to love the book. I read parts of it every night, and will never forget any of it.

Summary: Magnificent Book
Review: There were two gangs that fought constantly in the story, they were also rivals. Ponyboy is the main character. He was always in trouble. I loved the book, because it explains why people shouldn't fight. I recommend that people read this book so they can get a clue about the gangs today.

Summary: A new mythology
Review: The late mythologist Joseph Campbell was once asked what happens when parents fail to pas on their mythology to their children...where do children today get their myth? Campbell's response: "They make it up themselves. This is why we have graffiti all over the city. These kids have their own gangs and their own initiations and their own morality, and they are doing the best they can. But they are dangerous because their own laws are not those of the city." In The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton explores this theme of adolescents left alone without the guidance of adult role models and the tragic results that can ensue. The adolescents in this novel have fashioned a mythology of their own and modeled it after the gang leaders, who get druck, lift hubcaps and blow off steam in gang fights. As one might expect, when conflict arises the characters resolve thier conflicts, as some adolescents do, with violence; with little or no thought for the consequences of their actions. Through Ponyboy's eyes we see the growing resentment between Greasers and Socs that escalates into two conflicts between the gangs...both with tragic results. Ponyboy learns that Socs are no different than the Greasers, they are equally ignored by their parents. An excellent companion to Romeo & Juliet and even West Side Story...all three are compelling works that can and should be used as springboards for teens to discuss their emerging independence, their beliefs and behavior.

Summary: The Outsiders, an American classic
Review: Whether you are a person who loves to read, or a person that hates it with a passion, you will most definately love this book. It is about a boy named Ponyboy Curtis, his brother Sodapop, his other brother Darrel, Two-Bit Mathews, Dally Winston, Johnny Cade, and Steve Randal, a.k.a "The Greasers." In the town where Ponyboy lives, there are two crowds, The Greasers, and the rich Socials, a.k.a, "The Socs." The time span of the book is about one week, and belive you me, A LOT can happen in a week, as this book clearly proves. Throughout the book, you will be moved from laughter to tears and vice-versa. I am not going to tell you anything else about the book like the other reviews do, because that would would defeat the whole purpose of reading it. Have fun reading this book, I guarantee you'll love it, I sure know I did!

Summary: I LOVED this Book
Review: I am 16 years old and I first read this book when I was about 14. From the first time that I read it I loved it and I have read it 13 times since the first. The story of Ponyboy being look after by his brothers Sodapop and Darry, and the murder with his friends Johnny was an excellent story, which made the heart beat with excitement and anticipation and also a lot of sadness. I very strongly reccommend this book to every one.

Summary: What can I say
Review: I did not like this book. I had to do a report on it for my grade 7 class. I know you may right me off as a teen who does not understand great reading but I read all the New York Times bestsellers and usually enjoy them, I fond this book a sterio type of gangs life. I found the movie alright though. But I guess alot of people like this book so read if it you want or watch the movie which has an added bonus Tom Cruise! Seriously though maybe it is just my opinon of what type of book I like. There is plenty of exciment in this though for you adventure seekers, but I like mysteries soyou guys may rate this very well, howerver for my review I do not like this book

Review: Well, what can I say but "wow"? This book was simply amazing. It truly changed my perspective of life and will change yours. I had to read this book for school and I thought I was gonna HATE it! I read one chapter and was hooked. It only took me a day to finish reading it. What was so great? S.E. Hinton writes so realistically with a teenage viewpoint. Boys and girls alike will love it!

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: This book was published in 1967 by S.E. Hinton and is about thelife of the kids without any money, the Greasers and the rich kids,the Socs. Ponyboy Curtis is a 14 year old greaser, other Greasers are his brothers Darrel and Sodapop his best friend Johnny Cade and Dalls Winston. The Greasers and the Socs always have fights but never anything very serious until one of the Greasers kills a Socs (in self-defense) one night. So as he and Ponyboy find Dallas for money and a gun they set off for a church. While in hiding two of the Greasers go in the hospital which makes Ponyboy come back home. Then at the end thay have a fight with the Socs and win. But when it ends Ponyboy and Dallas go to see their friend in the hospital to tell him the good news.As Ponyboy tells him they won his friend tells Ponyboy its not any good.As the talk ends he tells Ponyboy to "stay gold". Alot more goes on in this book but you well HAVE TO READ IT.. I read it this year I am 13 years old and this book is one of the very little books I have read and I think it is one of the best books I well ever read. I think it is also one of the best you well ever read too.

Summary: The Best Ever~
Review: The first time I read this book i couldn't put it down!The story of Greasers vs. Socs really struck a cord in me. I loved the way the heros could really be considered anti-heros. It really shows you that things arn't black and white. It also is a lesson that you should look past what you see on the outside to get to the real person!
