Book Reviews of The Outsiders
Book Review: "The Outsiders" is a new age clasic.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was great and action packed . It had everything that everygood book has . A good plot and it gets you into it . I would safely call it a new age clasic. It tells exactly what any gang going teen is going through . It takes place a while ago but it realates to now more then then . I would recomend this book to anyone who likes action adventure or who wants to know what is going on in gangs today . The downfalls of this book however are that it moves at an extremly high pace ,and at times the dialect that they use is hard to comprehend. On the other hand though it never looses your attention and it addes alot to the story but the dialect and acent and slang they use. It gives you a feel for when and where the boys are from and how well educated they are. "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton is a very good book and I would recomend it to anyone. It's about a group of boys who live in a small poor part of town and belong to a group or gang of greasers. In this gang are some very strong personalities. Pony Boy is the main charictor . along with Johnny , Soda Pop, Dally{Dallas}, Darrel,Steve ,and Two Bit. They have fudes with the preeps from acrost town all the time. The greasers meet up with a girl named Cherry ,whos a preep. After this there is a serious chain of events that you'll never believe. This book deals with issues that teens today are going through . All in all this is a wonderful book and it's going to soon be a very famous book.Book Review: *!*The Outsiders*!*
Summary: 5 Stars
In my experience of reading "The Outsiders" I think that this book needs 5 starts from everyone. I think it is a grate book because I can relate. For example when Ponyboy's friend Johnny dies, I can relate by having someone special to me die. I also in enjoyed the rivalry. For example now (today) the U.S. is in war with Afghanistan. This book also was grate b/c it informed you about the two different clicks. The Socs (Socials) and the Greasers. We don't have they many gangs, but we do have clicks called the popular kids and the non-popular kids. There are my three most important reasons I liked the book "The Outsiders"!Book Review: **~**The Outsiders**~**
Summary: 5 Stars
Where Ponyboy is from there are two types of people: Greasers and Socials. Socials are upper-class, well dressed kids who don't show their emotions. Greasers are poor, hoods with long hair who usually have a criminal record. Ponyboy has always assumed, because of their social class, that they were so much different until his best friend kills a social. After a chain of devestating events, he realizes that people do have emotions, weather they admit it or not.I really enjoyed this book. I think it would appeal to adults as well as kids. The book is really well written and the ending is espically good. It is definately worth buying.
Book Review: *The Outsiders*
Summary: 4 Stars
Ponyboy is a greaser who lives with his two brothers,Darry and Sodapop. The greasers have pretty much always been enemies with the socials. The socials have all the breaks and plenty money. The greasers, on the other hand, have not had that same luck. They are poor and live on the wrong side of town. Ponyboy and Johnny, another greaser, get into alot of trouble when Johnny kills a young social. This event leads to other events, which changes their lives forever.The author, S.E.Hinton does a great job of expressing how the greasers felt and keep the readers attention. She expresses how they feel and their personalities. Never a dull moment in this book! It will make you laugh it will make you cry!The Outsiders truly is a must read book.
Book Review: *gasp* it's wonderful
