Soscha
The Outsiders | Susan E. Hinton
post image

1. There was little good about me at a young age but this would be one. It started when I think a Second or Third Grade teacher pulled me aside; told me I shouldn‘t be getting B-s in school. And I never did again save for Math & Mathish Hard Science.

2. Characters in book, PonyBoy & SodaPop Curtis. I adored this book as a child. Less so when I had to read it twice in different schools. I‘d told my family (in jest!) I was set to marry Rob Lowe.

Soscha I read all of Sue Hinton‘s books. Rumble Fish was a better read IMO. Tex was the worst. That was the last I read but Taming the Star Runner didn‘t come out until my junior year of High School. Was that one any good or had see lost her mojo by then? 3d

I listened to this while my stepdaughter reads it for English class….I was shocked that I loved it. There was a lot more compassion and tenderness than I anticipated for a book about a gang of teenage boys. I see why this is considered to be the start of YA fiction, even though most of what I‘ve read in the genre pales in comparison. My stepdaughter, she‘s still working on it, but she read ahead to the ending (what‘s with young people today?).

Ruthiella Oh, I‘m old and I will sometimes read the end first when I‘m worried and a character or story arc. I find out what happened -get the worst over with- and the go back and read the rest.😅 2w
TheLudicReader Hinton's novel That Was Then, This is Now is even better, imho. 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2w
JoeMo @TheLudicReader I checked out Hinton‘s other books, noticed the great reviews for this, and added it to my TBR! Thanks for sharing 2w

Listened 🎧 to this and watched the film 🎥 last night. Enjoyed both! I honestly can‘t remember if I truly read the book when I was in HS and I don‘t remember if I even saw the movie, but I can now FOR SURE check it off a list ☑️ #Feb2025 Book14

I have read and re-read this book and can say that it will always be a favorite. My own copy has definitely seen better days but the love I hold for this book is deep. I think everyone should read this book at least once in their lives and then stop to think about the message the author was trying to convey.

It looks a bit worn because it has been used a lot in our school - I never did so far, but I definitely will. I really liked this coming off age story and it doesn‘t feel like being old at all. I really like the way of fast-paced writing and enjoyed the somewhat hardened character of Cherry very much. She‘s definitely seen it all. 💪💪💪

Tamra My son really liked reading it and watching the film. I don‘t recall if it was freshman or sophomore year. 5mo

Reading The Outsiders for the first time because we have a class set in school. It seems somewhat familiar even thogh I never read or watched it. Reminds me of all those underdog 80ies movies. 😊

TheBookgeekFrau Ohhhh, enjoy!! Such a good book ☺️ 5mo
Scochrane26 So good! And it was made into an ‘80s movie 5mo
DogMomIrene Highly recommend watching the movie after you‘re done with the book. Both are so good! 5mo
MariaW @Scochrane26 @DogMomIrene I will definitely watch the movie next. 😊 5mo
