The Outsiders

The last book that I read was The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. This book was written in 1967.This book was about a underprivalaged group of boys. The main characters were mainly the Curtis family. The Curtis parents died in a car accident and left the older brother Darryl to tend to the two younger boys named Ponyboy and Sodapop. The Curtis boys and some other boys from the neighborhood are in a band of brothers called the greasers.
I read this book in english class so it wasn't really recommened to me by anybody but i still thought it was a really good book. I would recommend it to anybody. The book was really entertainging and I think most kids my age would like reading it. There is another book very similar to The Outsiders called Rumble Fish written by the same author S.E. Hinton. I haven't read Rumble Fish but if its anything like The Outsiders I think it will be a really good book.

  1. The Outsiders was a great book! I finished the book on the secound day we were assigned it. I like your over-view of the book, it tells you about the book without giving anything away. I think I should read Rumble Fish, now. Do you know the main plot of Rumble Fish?
