Summary: This book is fabulous!!
Review: I loved this book. Its harsh reality shows that no one person should be considered an outsider. Everyone who feels that they are the only one that feels things in a certain way, should come to realize that there are others who feel that way too. Even when the other person seems to come from a different world. I have read this book so many times that I've memorized the first and last line!!:)

Summary: This is one of the best books I have read in a long time.
Review: The Outsiders The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton is about a boy named Ponyboy and his family. Ponyboy is the only one in his family who goes to school. His second oldest brother, Soda Pop, works at the gas station and his oldest brother, Darry, works with roofing tiles. Their parents died before the story begins. Ponyboy belongs to one of two main gangs in the area he lives in. His gang is called the Greasers and the other gang is called the Socials. The main conflict of this book involves Johnny and Ponyboy killing someone and running from the police. While running away from the police Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally save some kids from a burning church. After they save the children they go to the hospital to check their injuries. Ponyboy has minor cuts and burns, Dally has minor cuts and burns and a broken arm, Johnny is hurt the worst. He has a broken back and is paralyzed from the waist down. While reading this book I learned that gangs stick together no matter what happens. The Outsiders is very interesting because it gives the reader an idea about the gang world. This book contains lots of detail about fighting and other interactions that happen in gangs. The unique feature about this book is that any type of family especially a poor family, can live in the same environment as the rest of us. This book will be interesting to people who want to know what gangs are like. The language used is very easy to understand, gang members don't have big vocabularies, so they keep the language simple. The characters are very believable because they act like people I know. The book's message is that it is never good to get into a fight even if you out number the enemy. This book is appropriate for our age (13-14).

Summary: Very good
Review: The Outsiders is a great book. When I run out of of books I want to read I always pick up that one or when there are no good movies at the store I always look for that one. The reason I really like it is all of the action, adventure, and heroics, in it.

Summary: Amazingly the Stupidest book I have ever read!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is your average typical teenage book that is so absurd and hard to believe that even if you used your imagination to it's limit, you can't even think about what the characters did as human or possible. This book is utter junk and I hate it. I only read this because I was forced to in school, oh god...I now have an urge to read George Eliot or Thomas Hardy.

Summary: The Outsiders & S.E Hinton rox 4eva!
Review: Fabulous Book! Moving and full of emotions, the greatest teen fic. I've ever read!! I cried a whole pack of tissue reading this book and I'm gonna read it over and over again 'till i die!!! S.E Hinton has shown me the part of the world I've never encountered in a teenager's language through a teen's view. i adore this book, the author and the good Ol'America in the 60s. Also, I think people should make web pages on the book, it's such a shame that so far I've found none!

Summary: Our book group voted 6 to 3 against the book.
Review: HOT DOGZ: A W-G BOOK GROUP gave this book a thumbs down. We didn't like it because it was far fetched, unbelievable, and we didn't like the pacing. We would rather read books about kids our own age. The people that liked the book thought Ponyboy was an unspirited and believable character and that author did a good job on the book.

Summary: This book was alright, not that good
Review: This book was kinda stale... First of all it wasn't something ANYONE could relate with, the society was totally fake maybe the author was dreaming when he thought up that "society" and there was no real "plot" i think the author tried to get a message across to the readers, but the fact that it was SO OBVIOUS shows a lot about his writing skill... If u want me to pick up something leave it in there for me to think about, dont smash it on my head with a hammer.
