The Outsiders

Rating:
Summary: Sad
Review: I read The Outsiders and I thought it was an o.k. book. But it wasn't a book type I would read all the time. If I would have chosen this on my own, I probably would have stopped reading it. It's about gang related things. I don't aprove of smoking and stuff like that and that's basically all the book talks about. That subject came up a lot throughout the book. But other then that I thought it was a well written story. My favorite character was Johnny, because he got beat up at the beginning of the story and he was scared about getting beat up again, And that's how I would react too.

Summary: How do I think about this book?
Review: This is the first book I had read in the America. Maybe you don't believe what I said, but it is true. I never read through all the parts of book before. I thought it was too long, or too difficut for me. But this one is not. I like it very much because it's easy to understand what the author is going to tell next, or maybe because it was written by a 16-year-old girl. It is a great lesson for any child or young adult, to deal with problems and life. And it tought us the money is not the most important thing in the world, love or friendship is.

Summary: BORING
Review: Our teacher made me read this book in class. I thought it was boring less and a waste of time. It was so boring that it took me three months just to finish the last chapter. I just read the last chapter on my summer vacation just out of curiosity. I'm glad Franciss Ford Copalla left out some parts of the book in the movie. My final thought is that this book was boring!

Summary: Heartbreaking and keys in to the minds of teens
Review: S.E. Hinton does a great job expressing her thoughts of teenage life in a broken down sociaty. Ponyboy you sometimes felt sorry for because he lived a life that didn't really fit him. He was a smart, outgoing kind of guy that could have had more in life if he didn't live a hard life. The Outsiders was another story taken from the "Romeo and Juliet" and "west side story" plays. Teenage kids growing up into a world that was full of hat and violence. Many reviews I have read feel that it has no outlook on how life is, If people feel this way, then, man, they live in a isolated world. Violence, gangs, guns, rumbles, it's all things we in Iowa City have to learn to live with. This book has never gotten boring. Each time I have read it, it makes me think about the world today.

Summary: This books shows that everyone, rich or poor, has problems.
Review: This is a really unique book about jealousy and fear. It is about money, girls, and about how tough (or tuff) you are. The Soc's felt like they had to protect themselves from the Greasers. That's how the conflict starts.

Rating:
Summary: The book was enjoyable.
Review: The book was good, but I feel it was sometimes hard to see into the characters minds to find what they were thinking at certain times. My favorite part is when they "try" to save the kids from the church. It just shows that even evil people can do good things once in awhile. The characters names are Ponyboy, Sodapop, Two-bit, Johny, and Dallas. Yes the names of the characters are Ponyboy, and Sodapop. Ponyboy is brave, Johny is dead, Dallas is a hood, Sodapop is good natured, and Two-bit is an idiot. Read this book right now.
