Product Description
From Amazon
According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world: greasers and socs. A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a limousine. A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back. Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc. The murder gets under Ponyboy's skin, causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser. This classic, written by S. E. Hinton when she was 16 years old, is as profound today as it was when it was first published in 1967.

IT WAS AWESOME!!,
By raji (Canada, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Outsiders (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my favourite book of all times. I have read this book over six times and I love it the same amount all times. I first read this book when i was ten but never quite understood it fully but I re-read the book in grade six from a different point of view and then that was when I fell in love with this book. It makes me cry every time I read this book and trust me it takes a lot to make me cry. I recommend this book to everyone and you can really relate to this book. I promise you it will not you disappoint or waste any time.

This review is from: The Outsiders (Mass Market Paperback)
this is the book that changed my life. i first read it as a teenager and recently re-read it. the emotions are still there, as are the fascinating characters like ponyboy and sodapop. i gave a copy to one of my nephews who is known to be a reluctant reader. he loved it just as much as i did, despite the 20+ year gap between us.
