Blä! Jättetråkig och enormt förutsägbar, läs den inte. Det enda som var någorlunda bra var slutet och det är det som höjer den här boken från botten till en tvåa.

Plot twist: this is a classic novel I enjoyed immensely .
Practically all my friends had read it back in elementary school, however, due to me having far less than ideal teachers, I never got the chance to read it till now. Only now have I realized what a major loss that was.
The Outsiders was way better than I thought it would be. My friends hyped me up for it but even then, I tried keeping my expectations low. I expected it to be some city version of [b:Lord of the Flies|7624|Lord of the Flies|William Golding|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327869409s/7624.jpg|2766512] (and dear God did I hate that novel) or for it to be like another novel I read for school years ago, [b:Maniac Magee|139463|Maniac Magee|Jerry Spinelli|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1395884800s/139463.jpg|3264295], but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Allow me to go through some of the main characters and their various plot points.
