The Outsiders
By S. E. Hinton
I just finished The Outsiders, and wow! I loved it! This is going on my future re-read list too.
And, I didn't realize until the very end that this book was written by a 16-year-old girl! So ridiculously cool.
Here's why I liked it:
First of all, the story was excellent. For me, it wasn't too intense, yet it wasn't dull. The narrative kept my attention and never felt slow. Second, the character development was excellent. Each person, no matter how small a role, felt real and believable. At the end, I wanted to keep hanging out with them all. Last, the whole theme that looks can be deceiving is so true, especially in the adolescent stage. I feel like this book sends a very positive message to everyone that stereotypes and labels are often unfounded, yet control so much of our lives.
Definitely recommend this one!
