The Outsiders- Reviews

Hinton, S.E. The Outsiders. New York: Penguin Group, 1995.180 pages. (General Fiction)

“If I were to give this book a one word label it would be ‘fantastic’ because it is perfectly written. It is pretty amazing that only a 15 year wrote such a touching book.”

- Superbeau42

“The Outsiders is the best book ever!!! This book tells reality, not some made up fantasy book where everyone is okay. It is magnificent and one of the beloved books of all time.”

- Antwain

"The Outsiders was such a great book because it was real. The events in this book could happen. Also, the people had real conversations, not the kind that could never happen. This is a sad and scary book but also happy and satisfying."

"I thought The Outsiders was one of the best books I have read in a long time."

“It’s not easy to stay out of trouble in this neighborhood. Not all the brothers will make it through. But you’ll just have to read the book and see what happens!"

- Prada Panda

"This honestly is my overall favorite book! The book has lots of action. The characters are awesome and have cool names. It is the book that I have been looking for!"

- Laugher

"It is like riding a log rollercoaster blind folded so you don’t know what is going to happen next until you read it. Mind you S.E. Hinton was only 15 years old when she wrote this book and it got published when she was 17 years old back in 1965."

"Grabs you right from the get-go. This book is a must read for young teens who like a suspenseful story with a great plot."
