The Outsiders

Summary: What I Think
Review: I like the story because it is very exciting. The brothers try to keep out of the Soch's hangout, but they catch up with the Soch's everytime. The Soch's leader is killed by Johnny, one of the Greasers. He is known as the gang "pet" because he was beat up by one car full of Soch's that the group hated. The Greasers have smoked or are smoking, have criminal records, and are all a big major group of brothers as they call them selves. My summary for the book is that I kind of am two sided on it. I mean that I like some of it and I don't like some of it. But, I know one thing, that I think kids shouldn't run from there fears but face them like grown up's. So, if you think about getting the book for your kids, get it for them when they get older. That is what I think about the book The Outsiders.

Summary: Profoundly Touching
Review: S.E. Hintons first novel, The Outsiders, is one of the most heart touching books I have ever laid my eyes on. It explores the life of Ponyboy, a young Greaser that grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. The book also explores the true meaning of Brother hood back in the 60's. S.E. Hinton described the life of these people very accuratly because she herself grew up during the 60's and was a Greaser. The ending will rip your heart out and really make you think about what you have. If you like "Tear Jerker" books than you will love this one. I recomend that if you want your kids to read it when they get old enough to keep it in good condition. There is some profanity and and quite a lot of violence in the book, but not enough to make it bad. It just tells the truth of life in that day.

Summary: This book is great and filled with adventure
Review: This book is great! It is written through the eyes of a teenager and he faces many of the problems we face today. I admit some parts are very sad and in some you even may start crying.But, there are many happy and funny parts too. There is also a lesson Ponyboy( the main character) learns. If you figure it out, you will realize what a valuable lesson it is. This is a very great book! But don't take my opinion, read it yourself! ( P.S. If you're not sure you should read the book, go to your local library and read some of it and see if you like it.)

Summary: The Real Story
Review: In my opinion I personally thought the book was boring. All the book is about is this boy named Ponyboy,who all he does is gets in fights.The book really doesn't have a meaning.

Review: I thought this book was a good book. I also think with the millenium coming there is not going to be alot of books like this one out in the market. And I think any kid who likes to read about the old times I think they would enjoy this book I know I did.

Review: I thought it was a well-structured good book that I thoroughly enjoyed because of the whole setting. They were all pretty much parentless and just trying to get through life anyway they can.
