Summary: Outsiders
Review: I recommend that people read the Outsiders .
It is one of my personal favorites .It is heart warming and full of action, drama , and feelings. I love the attitudes of the characters in the book . I like Ponyboys go and do it attitude and Dally's thoughts about Jonny Boy . it seams that they are all family and it really comes out in the stroy . They all have emotions even darry the toufist guy in the gang but one thing that the gang lacks is comon sence.That would change everything in their lives.

Summary: Outstanding Outsiders!
Review: I just finished reading this book in my 8th grade Language Arts class. It was incredible! I laughed, I cried, so on and so forth. I recommend this book to ANYONE and EVERYONE. I didn't think I would like it at first, but by the second chapter, I was hooked. Fun fact: S.E. Hinton was only 16 when she wrote this novel!

Summary: WHAT??? NO MORE THAN FIVE STARS??
Review: I had to read this for my English class. I wasn't too excited about it at first because it didn't look like my type of book. I thought I'd hate it. Man, was I wrong! Five stars doesn't do this book justice. I don't even think a million stars would. The main character, Ponyboy, and all his friends are greasers. When the word "greaser" comes to mind, I think of someone who smokes and does all these wild things and is to be avoided at all costs. That's what everyone else thinks of Pony and all his friends. It's not true at all. They're wonderful guys-they just haven't been given the chance to prove it. They can't walk down the street without worrying if they're going to get jumped or not. People spit at them and call them "white trash" (or worse), or they run from them because they're afraid it'll hurt their reputation-when all they want is to belong. I'll be the first to admit, this is a sad book. An extremely sad book. But it really makes you look at things differently. Pony's parents are dead. He lives with his older brothers, Darry and Soda. He's one of the lucky ones. His friends either have no parents, or they have parents who don't care. Most of them are more cheerful than me! They've tried their best to enjoy their lives, but there really isn't much they can do to make their lives better. Most of them, especially Johnny, Pony's best friend, feel like they have nothing to live for. That's not true. They're all very, very special guys (for those of you who've read this, yeah, even Dally)-they just don't realize it.
This is an amazing book-one that I could read again and again. I've never read a book more than once, but I could sit down with this one and read it from start to finish and enjoy every minute of it-time and time again.

Summary: Outsiders
Review: When I started reading this book it drew me into it in about the eighth page. This book is about the Greasers and the Socs, two gangs. The Greasers represent the poor side of town and the Socs are the rich side. One part in the book the Socs jump Johnny and Ponyboy. They almost drowned Ponyboy by shoving his head in the water but before they can Johnny stabs two of the Socs and kills them. Then they hurry to another gang members house and he gives them money and a gun and tells them to hide in another towns abandoned church. While they were staying there Ponyboy and Johnny were smoking and the church started on fire and Johnny died. ...

Summary: The veiw of a teenager
Review: At first I thought the book was going to be boring,because of the setting .I thought it reflected on how their gang was like friendships now, like when johnny was in trouble the gang helpt him out like some friends do when another friend is in trouble.in the middle of the book it has more action when johnny kills the boy and ponyboy and him hide out in the church it shows even though how johnny is not always scared, but he is brave and courageous.Dally also shows his true colors when he helps save thoughs kids in the burning church.I would recoomand this book to aperson who can relate to how this gang is in all the different personalites.

Summary: Great Book
Review: People may think it's about fighting, and violence, but if that's all they get from it, they have missed the message. It says so much about how hard it can be growing up, no matter whether you are rich, poor, or whatever race.

Summary: Insite to The Outside
Review: The Outsiders is based on the life of a young boy growing up on the wrong side of town. He has to learn to cope with harsh surroundings, gang violence and the pressures to succeed. Along the way he is faced with many life-altering decisions.
The main character in this book is a young boy named Ponyboy; he is the one who serves as the narrator in the story. Ponyboy is the youngest of three brothers. The oldest of the brothers, Darry, is a gallant protector and father figure to Ponyboy and Ponyboy's other brother because a tragic accident had occurred in the family. Sodapop, Ponyboy's second oldest brother is a more carefree and fun loving kind of guy. He and Ponyboy are very close. The other characters in this novel are: Two-bit who brings the group their definition of entertainment, Dally a fierce notorious lawbreaker, and Steve, Sodapop's best friend, who's always ready for a good fight and loves the hood life. There is also Jonny, who acts as everyone's kid brother. He is always sweet and nice due to his living situation at home, and past traumatic events.
These boys make up a very colorful circle of friends. They are always there for each other know matter what. Together they have the time of their lives. They are 'The Greasers.'
Some of the other characters, from the Upper-East Side consist of Cherry, a spunky little red head that touches the hearts of both sides. She also happens to be a cheerleader at Ponyboy's school. Bob, Cherry's boyfriend gets in more trouble than you can imagine. Randy is Bob's best friend and also his side kick. Together the boys wreak havoc among the greasers just because they can. Everyday these characters run into numerous amounts of problems. They deal with things such as fights, family, friends, girls, and even murder. Each day is filled with enough adventures to last a lifetime.
My favorite character is Ponyboy. He is my favorite because he learns so much and you feel as if you are learning and growing with him. Many of the challenges and outcomes he deals with are so gut wrenching and heart touching that I did not want to put the book down. I felt as if I could relate to each and every character on a different level. I absolutely loved the book. I could not put it down. The structure and composition, combined with the energy level of the book were elaborately well done and very mind gripping. I would not change a thing about the book at all; otherwise I feel it would not be worth reading.
I completely recommend this book to anyone who loves to read. I feel, that all types of people can relate, in someway or another, to this book. So go out and get your copy today, otherwise you will be missing out.
