I haven’t read The Outsiders since I taught it about 20 years ago. Even though I read this book in the 70’s plus I’ve reread and taught it multiple times, I’m still surprised at the end. Reading it today, nearly 50 years after the first time, I’m a little shocked at how little society has really changed. The names may change, but the reality of the have and have-nots, the rich vs poor, socks vs greasers, jocks vs geeks, preps vs grunge, liberal vs conservative, is still visible in our society.

I greatly enjoyed this book. It’s quick and short, read it during a road trip and now am going to buy it to read it again. I loved the characters and their relationship. Greatly recommend, fun ending twist.

 ⭐🎧Audiobook Listener🎧⭐
 
Such a great reread! It's been almost a decade since I first read it and the characters are just as full of heart and personality as I remember. You will fall in love with this found family and and it will inspire you to pose and examine the ratings you have with the outsole closest to you. It's a quick read and and even quicker listen. Love! 

This tumultuous few weeks in these boys' lives captures the sometimes jarring experience of widening your worldview for one of the very first times.
