The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
5.0
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.
