Oh God! The outsiders. Back in 2007/2008, I had to read this as part of my highschool English class. I HATED the book. Not cause it was bad but because it felt so violent that it gave me nightmares, than I watched the movie and it felt so different to the book; oddly enough sitting comfortably throughout.
Recently I rewatched the movie and wasn't a fan of it. I thought it felt like it was missing a thing or two.
I'm pretty sure I've owned this copy for 17 years, it even has my hand written name written into it. So most likely a book copy that the teacher told us to keep. 🤷♀️
Either way..it's been a decade or so...so let's see if I struggle with the outsiders again.
Hmm..this book didn't freak me out like it did when I first read. Honestly, I think i felt underwhelmed.
You can easily tell its someone's first book, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. We all start somewhere.
But reading this it felt like chunks were missing..maybe it cause S.E Hinton is an outsider looking in rather than someone who was in on the action.
