The writing style was great. I immediately got hooked up since the beginning. The story was very interesting. The plot, the scenery, the characters, etc are all very interesting.

Omg reading classic is such a fun reading. Especially books that set in real world. Because this book reminds me sm of the movie, Grease. The hair oil applying, always looking good, rowdy. Not only that but applying the hair oil makes me think that guys back in the days care sm of how they looked. And the fashion back then probably always applying hair oil. Omg this is why I need to read more classic.

I read this with my 7th graders and I don't think I'll ever forget it. The way everyone (myself included!) loved and connected to this one story was incredible. It's one of the best books I've ever read, and it's better because for me it's inseparable from all the discussions, debates, and opinion essays students wrote about these messy characters and their messy growing-up lives. Watching the shyest, most unmotivated kids spring to life was a testament to how darn good this story is. I could have done without the classroom fistfight one scene inspired, but you can’t win them all. (And the movie is phenomenal—be sure to watch the "complete novel" version.)
