April 2024 Review:
I originally read this back in 8th grade for my English class. I liked it and it was fun comparing it to the movie as part of my assignment.
I "reread" (I actually read it while listening to the audio) as part of one of my bookclubs. I was nice going back. I lost my original copy so I went and bought myself a new one (also the library copies were all in use). It's definitely a classic. Rereading it made me appreciate the books that were mentioned by PonyBoy -- especially because I've actually read them.

I gotta say that this book brought me back into my book reading phase. I've came across some snippets of the movie every once in a while and decided to finally go ahead and read it. My expectations where very high, once because I really wanted to start reading again and knew if this book disappointed I wouldn't start again and because the snippets already gave me a rough idea that I was interested in. To say at least, the book and story definitely didn't disappoint and it will always be in my top three of my favorite books, because despite everything it made a very big impact on me and I also read it during my first holiday alone and the book will always be connected to the incredible memorys I made.
