seawarrior's review against another edition

Ponyboy is a devastating and uplifting story of a young man trying to form his identity and find his place in the world and among the people he loves. Ponyboy struggles to stride through alcoholism and toxic romances as his self-reflected is misted over by heavy emotions. He has a poetic way of thinking that I did not fully understand, but could always feel. This is a unique and lyrical book with a sense of intimacy for its leading character, who stumbles at times but ultimately finds himself in a happier place than he was when we first met him.
