Outsiders Book Review
Rating: 4.5/5
This book has mature themes, such as death and suicide.
When I first found this book in the library, I had the intent of reading it, but soon a few weeks had passed, and I hadn't even gotten to the second page. But when I finally picked the book up, I felt like I couldn't stop reading it, I needed to know what happened! This book was super interesting, and takes you on an emotional journey, with really likeable and admirable characters. It is a great classic, that tells a coming of age story, and puts light on the good and bad of society.
The story is from the perspective of Ponyboy, the youngest brother of Sodapop and Darry. They had just recently lost their parents due to a car crash, but were allowed to stay under Darry's care if they behaved. All three brothers and their friends are Greasers, who are boys from the poorer side of town. The Greasers are rivals with the Socs, who are from the richer side of town. Ponyboy knows that he can trust his friends, and that when it comes to Socs, they will protect and fight for him. But one night, when a fight goes too far, Ponyboy is forced to flee the town, and the life he knew starts to turn upside down. Can Ponyboy get back home safely?

The Outsiders is a classic book! Loved it when I read in 7th grade too! My favorites were Cherry and Dallas, on top of Ponyboy!
