The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

5.0

The Outsiders was one of the first books that made me actually enjoy reading! I remember reading this during class for 8th grade and was always itching to read ahead of where my class was. This book was life-changing for me along with S.E. Hinton's other book, that was then and this was now. From the first fight scene with the Socs to the final scene with Dallas, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I definitely had some favorite moments like when Ponyboy and Johnny were on the run and to the hospital scene where Johnny says, "Stay Gold Ponyboy." It was that moment that had me crying like a river. I enjoyed all the different emotions when reading The Outsiders and would recommend it for first-time readers!
