Book Reviews of The Outsiders
Book Review: Outsiders cd review
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like the ease of finding specific passages in the cd. As a teacher it is very nice to be able to go to a specific track and not have to fast forward to the place I need to be. The Outsiders has been a favorite for all my students. It's popularity never seems to lessen. It's relevance is as important now as it was in the 60's.Book Review: Wonderful

Summary: 4 Stars
Reading a novel is one thing but listening whilst reading adds a new dimension to it. The Outsiders is written by an American author and it's set in the 1960s. I am Australian and the language in the novel is not. It makes sense to listen to a trained actor deliver the novel with the correct intonation, dramatic intensity and charaterisation that simply reading cannot provide. The themes in The Outsiders are relevant to today's teenagers who deal with peer pressure, dysfunctional families and the all too human need to belong somewhere....anywhere. Conflict is sustained throughout and there is the final resolution. This is good to play on a car trip to keep teenagers engaged instead of hearing "are we there yet?"or to improve reading skills by listening whilst reading. This is one way to help improve word recognition. Especially suitable for people with vision difficulties who may find it easier to listen to, rather than read a book. Very enjoyable.
