beautifulpaxielreads 's review for:
The Outsiders
by S.E. Hinton
challenging
dark
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This book had me confused and conflicted about what the characters were thinking and why they made the decisions that they did. Particularly Ponyboy.
And I kind of spoiled myself by looking up clips from the film version, which was something I really should have avoided doing.
But ultimately I felt that the ending saved it.
Sorry this review is a bit weird, I'm typing it from my phone, I might update it at a later date.
