The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is an amazing book written in 1967. It is about a 14 year old greaser named Ponyboy. He lives with two older brothers, Sodapop and Darry. The Greasers and the Socs have a strong hatred towards each other. The Greasers are poor and the Socs are rich. They fight all the time, but one day they take it too far. Johnny (a greaser) and Ponyboy are put in a difficult and scary situation with no easy way out.

The Outsiders was a fantastic classic. I couldn’t take my head out of this book. It is an excellent story that everyone can relate to in some way. It had action, drama, humor, and even some romance. It is enjoyable for everyone. When I first heard of this book I thought it would be a book more for boys, but I absolutely loved it and I’m a girl. The writing draws you in and the plot is amazing. I think that people will continue to read this classic for an extremely long time. In conclusion The Outsiders was an excellent book that everyone should read at one point in their life.
