The Outsiders (Adapted for the Stage)
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!!

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.

This book was very good. Out of my summer reading list I thought this one was going to be the worst of them all so I read it first, to get it over with. Even I was very surprised that I liked it because I hate reading. I would deffinately reccomend it to anyone.

I am the type of person who reads a lot. I have read several classic books like these. I never even heard of the Outsiders until my friend told me about it. So I thought I should read it. Well I began reading it and immediately fell in love with it. I thought that it stressed such an important lesson. It teaches you that good is always going to power over evil. This was a wonderful book and I think everyone should read it.

I had to read "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton with my English class this year. When I found out it was about greasers, I was excited because, to me, greasers are like the 1950s and '60's version of punk rockers, except for the fact that they don't play instruments. My favorite characters were Johnny and Dally. It is a great book that I would recommend to anyone. One of the things that I liked about it was that although it involves gangs and other questionable material,it showed the effect of all the bad things on everyone. Like, for instance, all the times when someone gets injured in a rumble or jumped, and whether the culprit is a Soc or a greaser and vice-versa, S. E. Hinton effectively and equally illustrates the hateful, destructive attitude and actions of the culprit and the hurt, shame, and anger of the victim. This ability comes in handy with boks like these, because that way, if a kid reads a part in the book where a kid gets jumped, they won't say, "Oh, I'm gonna go jump somebody now.", because about thirty seconds later, when they get to the next line and read about how hurt and ashamed and scared the victim is, they'll change their mind. Ms. Hinton also has a good ability for illustrating the consequences of violent and wrongful actions, because when you finish the book, you'll realize that everyone gets the punishment that they deserve for whatever they did tht was wrong;they don't just get away with things that are wrong. I look forward to reading other books by S.E. Hinton.

i had to read this ook as a language project so i thought it would be boring but i was so wrong. the outsiders is about how two social classes the greasers and the socs . greasers are always watching their backs and have to watch out for eachother to survive. socs on the other hand are cold emotionless kids who get their way. the story is about how ponyboy and his friend jonny(greasers)get in a fight with some socs when the one mistake jonny makes changes their lives forever. best book in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
