The Outsiders

Rating:
Summary: This book is a must-read!!
Review: I've read this book so many times and every time I enjoy every line, every thought and every tear! Enough of all that teeny Judy Bloome stuff teens read, this is a book about true friendships, and the way they're meant to be. Hinton couldn't have done a better job! Ponyboy is thoughtful, tuff and greasy and anyone that hasn't read this book is missing an excellent read!!

Summary: Oh god...
Review: I needn't tell you what The Outsiders is about, you already know from other reviews. But lemme tell you how good it is! S. E. Hinton in this book rivals even Robert Cormier (and I don't say that about just anybody). Pony is good and believable character, and so are Johnny and Sodapop and the rest. The ending, while unhappy, is realistic. I think it must be one of the worst things ever to die without realizing that there's still some good left in this world. In conclusion, an absolutely wonderful book that I'd recommend to any mature reader.

Summary: A classic social study in teen deviance
Review: I absolutely love this book and have for the last 19 years, having first read the novel in 5th grade. We were crazy about S.E. Hinton after that and proceeded to read everything she wrote. Outsiders is still my fave and I can still recall from memory all the dialogue. The film version stars many now-famous male actors who were quite young at the time the film was released. I would recommend the book to any young adult or adolescent who is living on the fringes of society, not really feeling accepted. The line between rich and poor is blurred by the sentiments shared by both groups in this book. A must-read for those interested in gang/youth culture.

Summary: the best book i did read,will read,and ever will!!!!!!!!!
Review: The Outsiders is a terrific book! I recommend it because if you are my age, it relates to you more. It'll get through to you about violence, and runnin' away from the law more than others. I absolutely adore this novella. I read it 3 times in 4 days! I will read it again if I want to, which probably WILL happen!!!!! If you haven't read it yet you must! you are now obligated to!

Summary: It was the best book i've ever read
Review: I read the outsiders in my 8th grade Lititure class, I thought it was good, everybody related to it in some way. It's maybe not so good for old people, but for young people like myself it's pretty good!

Summary: This Book Will excite you and hold you in suspence.
Review: The Book Outsiders was writen by S.E.Hinton who also wrote other good books such as Tex and Taming the Star Runner. The story starts out explaining the situation that is occuring all throughout it, which is two diffrent kinds of kids one from the north side and one from the south side of the tracks. The point of veiw of this story is from the point of view Ponyboy see's (The main Charecter) Now he gets into a little trouble alot and has no parents to direct him, just two older brothers. Now in the mist of all that's going on in the Hatred between, if you will north and south, there was something that happened to make it even worse. This book is a good book for the ages of 12 and up. Due to some of the themes that are involved in the story. I rated this book 5 stares because it brings in many diffrent kinds of themes such as hate for each other, Dffrent veiws on subjects that matters to each group of kids, and the way they treated each other in that day in age. This book is not that long (180pgs) but is very action packed so it never drags on and is very easy reading so you won't get stuck on words and therefor very quike to read and the time will fly by as you read it. Now Most people that I have talked to have also said it was a good book. Just as an example I asked my Freind Joe about it and he said "Outsiders is a very good book and I recomernd it to all those who injoy reading books that aren't too long in length." So in conclusion I will say The Outsiders is an excilent book and if you like reading short stories or even long novels, this is the book for you.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read
Review: As required reading in my 7th grade english class, I thought, another boring class assignment, but I was wrong. We read the book aloud in class and were not supposed to read ahead, but I couldn't wait, I read the whole thing in one sitting! I'm now 35 years old, still love this book and still have my original copy of the book, which I re-read at least once a year!

Summary: A realistic novel that opens your heart and soul...
Review: The Outsiders, skillfully written by S.E. Hinton, is an outstanding story. Absolutely nothing will prepare you for the power of friendship and love contained within this novel. It's about a young, teenage boy and his friends, who learn the hard way what's most important. Join them and their struggle to survive, in The Outsiders.
