The outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Have you ever wondered what it is like to not be excepted by other people? Or wonder what it is like to actually run away from home if so then you should read The Outsiders. the author of The Outsiders is S.E. Hinton, and the genre is historical fiction. The two main characters are Pony Boy and Johnny. Pony Boy is any normal kid with very greasy hair just like all of the greasers. Johnny is the youngest greaser and has parents that abuse hi at home. The book took place in the 70's and the setting was at Pony Boy's house and at an abandoned church. One day, Pony Boy one day gets pushed by his older brother so he decided to run away with johnny to an abandoned church a little bit out of town. Then when they get back home they find out that they are going to have a big rumble (fight) with their rival gang, the socs.
I really liked The Outsiders for three main reasons. The first reason is because it told you what it would be like to be in a gang. The second reason is that the book keeps you on the edge of your seat because of all of the action in the book. The last reason is that it is an easy read so you don't have to put a lot of thought into the book. The Outsiders is a book for really anyone and I really enjoyed reading it.
