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.
