Book Reviews of The Outsiders
Book Review: A Greaser's Point Of View
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, I would like to thank my teacher for letting our class read this book. Second, I think that this book deserves a 4 star award because it has some good qualities and some null qualities. Por la audience: This is a pretty good book because it speaks somewhat truthfully. It starts well enough because it has gangs and the usual troubles that come with it. It also has some qualities that other books lack. Such as the old-fashioned version of speaking. It also has things that don't make sense. For instance, it has the characters that think they are unbeatable. It has people that die, and it has people that are more of quantity than others. The Socials or Socs are a pretty decent members of society besides the fact that they jump poor people and treat anyone who can't afford their own clothes rudely and with extreme prejudice. I think however, that some people can be pretty odd at times. For instance, it has a gang called Greasers that are completely the opposite and aren't prejudiced in the least bit. They act accordingly to their own laws, and mostly they don't like fighting unless they absolutely have to. The Greasers dress poorly, wearing jeans and sleevless t-shirts or just normal shirts. While on the other hand, the Socs dress in Expensive clothing, drive expensive cars, and pretty much get a kick out of fighting with other gangs, such as the Greasers. Overall, this book is pretty well built, whether its the problems happening throughout the story, or the scenes depicted, it is an above average book altogether. This has been a 13 year old portraying his response to a fine story.Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book when my Exploratory teacher began to read it. but as she began it wasn't so bad. Accually I kind of liked it. It probably wasn't the best book I've ever read, but it was good. I think it was a great story about the "preps" and the "gangsters". I think It was very realistic on some points and not so much on others. I would probably recommend it to anyone who wanted a good story and likes stories aboutthings that could really happen.Book Review: A Great Epic Dealing With Real-Life Situations!

Summary: 4 Stars
This book was pretty good, but the ending brought down my review, giving it four stars instead of 5. My favorite character was Dally, the shoplifter, because he was funny with an interesting accent. I didn't like all the cigarette smoking in the book.Book Review: A Lesson In Loyalty and Love
Summary: 5 Stars
Every Teen Ager and Adult should read this book. I read the Outsiders over 20 years ago and still get the chills when I think about it. After reading hundreds of books it remains my favorite. My neices and nephews are coming of age and I can't wait to share it with them. It should be on the required reading list in high school along with To Kill A Mockingbird and other classics.
