My favourite.
It's a cult classic about friendship, and the futility of rivalry and prejudice.

I started this not really sure what I was getting into, but by the end can absolutely see what all the fuss is about - this is a really important book. It really makes you think: bringing gang culture to life and helping you see the stories behind those involved, how good people can get themselves wrapped up in a bad situation with no real way out.

The Outsiders hits hard in such a short amount of time. 

I don’t know what to say about this book that has t already been said. Ponyboy shares his story in such a heart wrenching way that it’s hard to read at times. This book is only 180 pages but it took me almost four days to finish.

I definitely think it’s a classic that’s worth a read! It still feels relevant to today even though it’s 55 years old. It’s outside of my usual genre, but I have no regrets. 4 stars.
