Summary: An outstanding style of writing at that age
Review: The seventeen-year old writer's using of the slang words and telling the story in Pony's view impressed me very much. How come she can be that realistic about a teenager boy's problems,favourite things who is involved in a gang! The ending was awesome really, that when I read it, shivered with amazement and astonishment! The reason I don't give 5 stars to this book is because it isn't like, "Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry". Although the style of two books seem different, they were all based on telling a story about a time in history. (gangsterism and racial prejudice)

Summary: it was a terrific book
Review: This book was very interesting.I found out a lot about the characters and how their life is different from one another. The Outsiders is a very good book because it teaches about life and how it is different from the East Side and West Side. S.E. Hinton wrote a very good book. Ponyboy Curtis is a nice-looking boy who learns about life. It is taking place in a town in the USA. Ponyboy has a conflict where his friend Johnny kills a Soc named Bob. His lesson is if you kill someone do not try to run because it will make it worse, just face your fears and live with it. Even though, Johnny killed someone I thinks it was good of him because then more people would have died in this book.

Summary: I have never liked books of this type, but...
Review: I tried to read this book once a few years ago but I was too young to really get it. When my English teacher announced that we would be reading it, my face fell and I told my friends that it was awful and they would hate it. I braced myself and convinced myself that it was an awful book. Then I caught myself sneaking peeks inside of it outside of class, and reacting to it as I would one of my favorite books. Finally I let it sink in and it will never leave me again. I will add that it gets violent and portrays some negative views of teenagers, but also shows that even troubled kids have feelings and feel the need to be loved and respected. I had to talk to someone about the book and so I had to stop talking to my friends for a couple of days. They didn't get it, and didn't want to. I was the only girl in my class that liked it. Even the boys thought I was crazy. But since then I have found several girls like myself who loved the book and wouldn't admit it because of what it was about. My point is: Don't be fooled by the male-oriented first impression of this book. Give it some time and even the most sensitive person will fall in love with this book, along with the boys and tougher people.

Summary: one of the best books i ever read.
Review: I first read this book when i was in junior high.And i immediately identified with the characters in it. It's true its about gangs,and fighting and so on.But its more then that its about loyalty and friendship,family and values. But most of all i think it describes the confusion and uncertainty of being a teenager.

Summary: This book is the best book I have ever read.
Review: This book was so great. It was inspiring and never boring. When I first read this book in fifth grade it was because I used to always hear my mom and sister and aunts and grandma talk about it so I saw it somewhere and bought it. At this time I have never read a book more than like 20 pages but I could not put it down. Any teen in todays society don't think you can't relate to this book because it is old. Everyday I feel like I am living right out of this book.

Rating:
Summary: This is a great book, period.
Review: The Outsiders is my favorite book of all time. The characters are straight out of real life, and so are the things that Ponyboy, Johnny, Dally, Bob, and all the Greasers and Socs go through. I have read this book more then tewnty times, and it naver fails to make me laugh and cry every single time.

Summary: I've never read a more touching book in my life.
Review: I have never read a more touching, intrigueing, or suspensefulbook in my life. This book desplays amazing examples of all threeconflicts: Man Vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, and Man vs. Himself. This is perfect for book reports and school projects. Your teacher will be amazed at your sophisticated choice of work. Considering the author was only 16 when she wrote this, I think she couldn't have done a better job. This book is beyond acceptable.
