Summary: It's one of the best books I've ever read!
Review: The Outsiders is an excellent book. When I first got a copy of it from my English teacher (we did it as a class novel), I started reading it, and I couldn't stop (really)! I finished it on the night I got the book, so I read it again two more times after! It's soooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!! I think the characters' personalities were shown really well, and there was lots of action in the story. Also, the ending wasn't too bad. If you haven't read this book before, you SHOULD READ IT!

Summary: An emotional rollercoaster with a strong message to everyone
Review: When reading the book years ago in the 8th grade, I traveled to a place that was unknown to me. I didn't really have the first clue about gang rivals and the struggles that take place in the lower class society. This book opened a new understanding for a child from Eufaula, AL. Now, twelve years has passed, and I see in our world today the same struggles for young teens all over our country. The Outsiders teaches in Johnny's words that "there should be a place with just ordinary people,plain ordinary people". I'm 25, and I find myself still pulling out the ragged copy of The Outsiders from 8th grade to seek an understanding when I'm faced with social decisions. I think Ponyboy's message of " maybe then people wouldn't be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wears" could teach all people regardless of age, class, and gender a bit of compassion. Thank you.

Summary: Has hot guys and great story line. What more do you need?
Review: I loved this book it was really good. It even had a hidden sense of humor. In the movie you have got really hot guys too. Sodapop was my favorite and Dallas was my second favorite. This book is so good you'll never put it down. P.S ("That was then, this is now" isn't hardly as imprssive as "The Outsiders")

Summary: I fell in love with this book...
Review: When I read the first page I was automatically hooked on it. I could'nt stop reading it! I said "This chapter is the last for today..." but ended up reading 2 more after that. It really shows the P.O.V. of the Greaser life, and reminds me not to judge a book by it's cover--and I mean that matiphorically.

Summary: Great!!!
Review: I'am in 7th grade and we read this book in class. I think this book is great! S.E. is a girl, but it sounds like she knows what she is doing! So my conclusion is that this book is very enjoyable and I couldn't put it down. By the way CHICKS RULE!

Summary: a work of genius
Review: I read the Outsiders when i was 11 years old (in 1984). I am 26 now and it is *still* my favourite book of all time. I own three copies of it:) I think this book was honest and touching, and it showed sides of hurting teens that most people ignore. It has soul, and I recommend it to everyone:)

Summary: It was a good story
Review: The book the Outsiders was a good book i liked it a lot. Its a good story for teenagers. It talks about how hard it was for Ponyboy and his brouthers. My faverat person was Dalles. He was a tough guy but at the same time he was a good person to. He was their when his frinds needed him the most.
