Search - The Outsiders

A wonderful comming-of-age book that deals with peer pressure, loyalty and growing up. I would greatly recommend this book to young and old readers alike.

Overview: Ponyboy can count on his brothers. And on his friends. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up "greasers" like Ponyboy. AT least he knows what to expect - until the night someone takes things too far.

Review: S.E. Hinton has a knack for telling stories about inner-city life for teenage boys. This is her first novel and probably her best. A classic - read this and then watch the movie.

I just re-read this book for the first time in about ten years, and it still holds just as much meaning as it did before.

It's a must-read for anyone and everyone of all ages. Younger readers can understand the main points throughout the story and adults can pick up deeper meanings. We all need to be reminded that everyone has troubles, no matter who or what you're associated with, and Ponyboy is just the one to remind us.

Great book! Read it years ago. Got it for my 7th grade son's LA class. Re-read it myself. Gritty and honest life of the haves and have-nots.

Great book! Awesome condition.

My daughter stated this was a really good book.
