The Outsiders

”Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.”

When I was younger, we were made to watch The Outsiders at school and I had loved it. I don't know why it's taken me so long to finally pick up the book.

The characters are so well written. I loved reading Darry, Soda and Ponyboy's story and their love for one another was visible on paper. This is such a found family story, especially when it comes to the Greaser gang.

“Can you see the sunset real good from the West Side?”“Real good.”“You can see it good from the East Side, too.”

I believe this book teaches an important lesson about how we all can be different but still be the same. I think any person, regardless of what background you have, can emphasise or feel something when reading this.

This is one of those books that it doesn't matter how old you are or when you read this, it will still have the same impact on you.

This is the perfect book to read if you're looking for something that will make you feel something but aren't in the mood to read a large book. This is also a great read if you are wanting to begin reading or smash out those yearly reading goals.
