Rating: Summary: One of my Favorites Review: This is such a good book about gangs, friendship, and doing whats right. Those don't sound like they go together, but in this book, they fit together fine. It is sad, funny, and just great.It is about some kids in a town, some are rich, some are poor. They are separated in that way, and are pretty much like gangs. They poor ones steal, smoke, and fight with the rich ones. They all think that rich kids have it made, but then learn things are "rough all over." It ends in a sad and intense way, that will definately get you thinking. Again, one of my favorite books, and a high recommendation.
Rating: Summary: One of my all time favourites. Review: I first read this book when I was ten years old. I was so moved and intrigued by the story of this book. When it was over my pillow was covered with tears. The Outsiders creates a realistic view of a gang of greasers back in the early sixties. What else can I say about a book this is so good than to buy it?
Rating: Summary: Great Book, Great Movie Review: When I first started reading this book for my 7th grade English class, I didn't think it was very good, but I was wrong. I ended up reading the entire thing in one night, and then read a few more times within the next month. We watched the movie in class, and I thought it was so good that I went out and bought the movie. The movie was also great, but nothing compared to the book. It's amazing how many stars got their start in that movie. I suggest this book to anyone and everyone. It's a very interesting book with a very powerful message.

Rating: Summary: Possiblily one of the best books ever written Review: I have read several of Ms. Hinton's works, and loved That was then, This is now, but this book surpassed them all. Part of the beauty of this book is, it's not told from the center of the whirlwind, but from an Outsider, simply because of his very nature, in all social groups. To say more than this would be to demine this marvelous book,so to close my short reveiw...READ THIS BOOK!

Ponyboy considers his life pretty okay. But his life is turned upside-down when one night he and his best friend Johnny are confronted in the park by the Socs and somebody gets killed...
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: THE OUTSIDERS is my favorite novel of all time! We read it in my freshman English class, and I haven't met a student who did not like this book. It appeals to guys and gals alike. There is lots of action, and the characters are teenagers which makes this book interesting to high school students. I definitely recommend this book to anyone. THE OUTSIDERS has a great message--that "things are rough all over"--not just for certain people. After you read the book, be sure to watch the movie of the same name--it's ALMOST as awesome!
Rating: Summary: This book kicked! Review: I soo love this book! I read it like a month ago for the first time for my eighth grade english class, and I was amazed at how i had never bothered to read it before, that's how good I thought it was. I'm reading it for the third time right now, I seriously just can't get enough of it! I think I liked it so much because not only is the story line interesting, the book is incredibly well written. This book is very easy to get into and VERY hard to put down in the middle of it! This is kind of for a classic book report thing but I would not consider this a "classic" because the way I define classic is a very boring book that must be read just because its a classic and lots of people have read it. A normal classic I'll read once and say "phew, at least I won't have to read it another time now that I know what it's about!" This book is way different, I'll keep reading it over and over just because it's so GOOD! Definitely not what I expected. Read this book!
Rating: Summary: I had to do this! Review: For a book report, I did the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton for my 7th grade class. This book was full of excitement. I felt like I was in the book. I liked the part when they saved the kids from a burning building. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes adventure and excitement. I really enjoyed reading this book, The Outsiders. I never wanted to put it down.
