The outsiders is a heroic book about the troubles of growing up as a greaser in town also full of Socs. Ponyboy and his best friend Johnny need to make difficult decisions after several accidents leading to them becoming heroes and juvenile delinquents. I would reccomend this book to people that enjoy stories with suprising twists and thrills along the way.Book Review: Hinton Delivers
Summary: 4 Stars
"The outsiders" is a great book about loyalty and friendship. Ponyboy is the youngest of his brothers and the youngest in his gang. The other characters are Two bit, Sodapop, Dally, Steve, and Johnny. Their rivals the Socs fight the Greasers just for fun. Ponyboy has never gotten bothered until the night Ponyboy walks home alone and gets jumped. This creates tensions for the two rival gangs. But somebody in one of the gangs takes it to far. And they are forced to leave town and hide out from the police. After this only two things that the two gangs want to do is fight. This book is equipped with a very dramatic ending. This book is worth reading if you like action and drama in your books.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: Outsiders on CD
Summary: 5 Stars
The book on CD was really great! I used it with my junior high class. It enabled them to hear the story and really get caught up in the story!Book Review: The Outsiders audio cd
Summary: 3 Stars
My 8th grade students were put off by the extreme country-bumpkin accent in this audio recording. They didn't feel the accent truly matched the characters. The narrator read too slowly for them as well. I like using audio recordings in my classes, but I will be seeking a new one next year.
