I loved this book when I read it in like 7th grade.

 

 

Johnny was pure hardass for a kid who was the quiet type.

Exactly what I was thinking. It was good in middle school.

I love the book. I own both the book and the movie. It was kinda hard for me to believe S.E Hinton wrote it when she was just 16 years old at first. Great book.

I can't say I'm a fan and I've seen both. Call me crazy, and it's just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of the kind of macho garbage S.E. Hinton writes about. It's that whole "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" pretense I can't stand about certain male characters. It's like they have this macho-tough guy to overcompensate for their weak character.

 

But, maybe it's just me. I also really like Fight Club, so maybe I'm just being a facetious a-hole.

i read like it, but it's overated

If you like The Outsiders, read or watch the movie Rumble Fish. Even better IMO than the outsiders.

Best book I've ever had to read for school.

Good book.

I read it in school back in the day.

 

I hardly ever read the books assigned in class but this one I finished. Good book.
