Rating: Summary: This is a really heart filled book.

He has gone through his own changes in realizing that live is full of suprises and not all of then are good. But where he lives not a lot of it is good. Stuggling through live with his two brothers Darry and Sodapop, he has a tough life a head of him.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Awesome Review: I read this book with my sixth grade classmates. We all thought it was wonderful. Usually when you read a book out loud in school you lose some of the meaning, but this book was absolutely fantastic. We watched the movie too and I thought the book was much better. The only part I really liked in the movie was when Pony recited "Stay Gold".

Rating: Summary: The book was ok Review: The Outsiders I just finished reading the book, and then I watched the movie. I think the book is more descripitive than the movie. The characters looked like how they were described in the book, but their personalities weren't. I liked how the author discribed the characters. I understood what the characters were like. Dallas was my favorite character because he was the oldest and was always tough. He was different from the others and was the smartest.
Rating: Summary: This book is great for teenagers Review: OUTSIDERS To me the book and the movie were the same. In the movie things were left out that were in the book, but it wasn't important. What I liked about The Outsiders was that the guys were so tight. I mean in the movie and the book I could see how close they were. It was like they were related to each other. In life, now-a-days, we can relate to the story, The Outsiders. Teens have lots of problems just because of the fact about groups. What happened in the movie and the book is what is happening now between us teens. And the story of The Outsiders helped me see that all this hate against different people is pointless.
Rating: Summary: This represents america Review: This book is a perfect example of the problems in our society, and reading this book you do not realize how real it is even though some might look at it as just a story told by S.E Hinton look. I loved, and I could not put it down
Rating: Summary: This is a book I suggest every teenager read. Review: I just picked up this book that way I looked like I was reading, but when I read what it was about I decided to give it a shot. After reading the frist chapter I was really hooked into it. This is a book you can really relate to. This book is about liven on the streets. It tells the story of a boy growing up in a a town apart by two gangs. I don`t want to spoil the book for you so that is all I can tell you. This book is full of surpises. I really suggest everyone read it.
Rating: Summary: This book of gold shows a teenangers perspectiver on life. Review: You will be heart will be touched touched by this book. When a intelligent is forced to live in a poor neighborhood, he is abused by the kids from the wealthy neighborhoods.
Rating: Summary: Definitly a classic Review: My sixth grade English class was reading The Outsiders near the end of the year, and didn't have time to finish it for some reason. I kept thinking about it, wondering what happenened to the characters. About six months later I saw it at a yard sale, bought it for 50 cents, and read it cover to cover without stopping. It turned out to be one of the greatest books I've ever read. I cried lots, which I rarely do when reading books. It made me think a lot about how I treat people- I'm one of the rich, spoiled kids who would be a Soc if they were still around today, and I don't think I've always been incredibly kind to gang members and kids who aren't as incredibly lucky as I am. After reading this book I changed a lot, and I think I'm a better person now. Read this book!
