Book Reviews of The Outsiders
Book Review: Timeless..
Summary: 5 Stars
After all these years of loving the movie, I finally decided to buy the book! What years I've wasted..
From page one I got lost in S.E. Hinton's world of greasers and socs and how despite all the years that have passed and with the evolution of technology and science, this novel still applies to kids today. The names and name-calling may be different but the struggle has remained the same. The Outsiders truly is a classic in American literature. This isn't just recommended reading for schools, but for everyone. That's what a classic means - timeless and ageless. Enjoy!!
Book Review: The Outsiders
Summary: 5 Stars
When I read this book in the early 1990s it was the coolest book on the Year 9 high school reading list. I really enjoyed reading this novel, and how about the amazing cast for the film, imagine trying to get all of them in one film now! Full credit to Susan Hinton, she was published in her late teens, and she inspired me to write.

Book Review: Brotherly Love
Summary: 5 Stars
This enduring classic is the story of the Curtis brothers - Daryl, Sodapop, and Ponyboy, who are struggling to keep what's left of their family together in 1960's Oklahoma. Their love extends out to their adoptive family - the fellow "greasers" that make up their world. With Johnny Cade, Dallas Winston, and Two-Bit Matthews, the brothers do the best they can in a world that looks down upon them for being "grease" rather than "Soc."

Book Review: A classic you gotta have on your bookshelf.
Summary: 5 Stars
There's not much to say other than it is an excellent book, a must-read for anybody, and something I can read time and time again. S. E. Hinton is a wonderful author, I have also enjoyed Rumble Fish but The Outsiders is a book I will always have close to my heart! Her characters are so real, it's like Ponyboy is there sitting next to you the whole time.Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 11 year old daughter. I read it when I was a kid and absolutely loved it. My daughter loves to read and at first, didn't know if she would like this book. Once she started, she couldn't put it down. She loved it too. We then had to buy the movie!
