As a middle school teacher, I think this book would appeal to many students. It mentions cliques and struggles. It has a bit of violence in it. It had many themes throughout the book, but the one where we are all the same is a good one for all of us to understand. It is easy to read, and the movie goes well with the book. It is also a good historical piece of literature, as it discusses life in the 60's.

I got about half-way through this book, and had already decided it was fine, was planning on giving it a 3-star. Took me a week or so before I picked it up again, and then read it straight through to the end. The way it finished tied everything up so well, I had no choice but to give it a 5-star.

And to think that Hinton wrote it when she was a teenager makes it all the more impressive.

I loved this book as much the 2nd time around as I did when I was a pre-teen! It reminded me a bit of West Side Story and the film, Breakaway, with the rival groups. Ponyboy and his brothers, Darry and Sodapop, are orphans, and considered greasers. Darry has dropped out of school to care for his brothers. One day, leaving the movie theater with his friend Johnny, his life changes. The socs (socials) see that Ponyboy and Johnny are talking to one of their girls. That ignites a fight, and leads to deaths.
The social struggle between the groups, the needless killing, the love of family are all evident in this teen story.
So hard to believe that S. E. Hinton wrote this when she was 15-16 years old!

I had forgotten what a delightful read "The Outsiders" was. I read it many, many years ago and decided to try it again. I loved the narrator, Ponyboy. He was such a kind, sensitive, thoughtful boy and I felt complete empathy for him. In fact, all of Hinton's characters were fabulous, especially the greasers.

Although only short, "The Outsiders" was a touching novel about friendship, family, discrimination and society. A wonderful read.
