Summary: Too Outdated for Teenagers in this age
Review: I found this book too old to connect to real life these days. It may give a look into what your parents had done in the past, but for a modern day teenager, leather jackets and tons of grease are no more than a mere figment of their imaginations to see in real life. Quite similar to the themes in Go Ask Alice, where drugs and friends make all the difference in the world. Not an especially thourough deep look into each character's well being and thoughts, but emotions are well played out. This is more of a TEEN classic, not a classic that will last for centuries to come.

Summary: This book is the best book I've ever read in my life!!!
Review: This book is filled with problems of today. Kids can relate to it and get into it easily and quickly. Ponyboy is a great story-teller! It is filled with emotions, action, and comedy. I couldn't put the book down.

Summary: One the outside . . . looking in
Review: Ponyboy. Darry. Sodapop. Steve. Dally. Johnny. Two-Bit. They're best friends. But they're also Greasers. Where they live, there are two types of people: Socs, if you're from the high-class part of town, and Greasers, if you're in the low-class part of town. For these seven friends, they only really want one thing. To be noticed as human, not a name applied to everyone where they live. But then one night, everything changes.

Summary: Really really touching and interesting
Review: What can I say? I had to read this for my Language Arts class. The whole eighth grade had to. Well, the book was, well, extremely interesting. It really hit home for some of the us. When we got to english class, and my teacher, Mr. Richards, would pass out the books, everybody would be itching to read this book. Mr. Richards said, "If there is a book that you just can't wait to finish, unlike most district required novels, it definitely is good literature and writing." He also told us that S.E. Hinton was still in high school when she wrote this. Now Mr. Richards encourages us to write better and with "sumptuous details".

Summary: A review on a great book for anyone who likes to read!
Review: An assignment I read in my 10th grade English class that describes the life of Ponyboy and his friend's who are the Greasers a group of lower class teen's with long greasy hair who steel thing's because they do not have much and so they struggle to live their life on the East side against the Socials a group of rich teen's from the West side who drive mustang's and wear fancy clothes and have many thing's. This book strongly portray's the element of gang rivalry within different place's. In my mind this book deserve's 10 stars! A must have book for anyone who likes reading!

Summary: The Outsiders - A great book for all teens
Review: The Outsiders was absolutely a great book. Hinton did a fantastic job of describing the characters, scenery, and feelings. A must read, and when your done, read it again! And again!
Rating:
Summary: very fast paced but excellently directed
Review: I thought the outsiders was very fast paced but it wasn't the best I have seen. When I first read the book I didn't know that there was a movie. my english teacher let the class watch the movie and we pretty much enjoyed it. I was able to understand and follow the movie but for someone who had never read the book it might be hard because the movie moves so fast that if you don't have a general understanding of the book than it might be a waste of time for the viewer.

Summary: One of the best boks I've ever read
Review: I had to read The Outsiders for my 8th grade reading class. I love to read anything from Louisa May Alcott to L.J.Smith. I believe this is one of the best books I've ever read. I only wish Johnny and Dally hadn't dyed and that there was a sequel.

Summary: AN EDUCATING BOOK
Review: This is the second time I have read this book and I will probably read it again. I think this book has a great story and it is relatively true. I was reading through some of the other reviews and I would like to argue the fact that the story was giving false information. At the time the book took place there really was Socs and Greasers. The book did a good job on educating you on how they didn't get along. Back then it was important that youths belong to something and the book shows that very well. Now days gangs are very popular. Where I live we don't have gangs, but there are people that belong to different groups. For example we've got Stoners, preppies, dorks' jocks, and "just the good old boys" (logger type) Maybe I can relate to this book more because we don't do our fighting with guns or knives, just good old fashioned fist fighting. Just like in the book. It's not that I don't have guns, I have lots of guns, more than most. But were I come from people know that when the bullet leaves the gun you can't stop it. I recommend this book to somebody who wants to know what it was like back in the time when this book took place, because it gives you a good real life example.

Summary: This book was probably the best book I ever read!
Review: This book is a wonderful, sad, gutwrenching story of gangs and friendship and brotherhood in the fifties and sixties. It is about a boy named Ponyboy, and his two brothers, Darry and Sodapop. Their parents died, and Darry has to take care of his brothers. This is a story about gangfights, friendship, hippies, and has a much deeper meaning. I HIGHLY recommend it.
