This was a great little book. It’s quite short at around the 150 page mark, but for being so short it packs one hell of a punch. It was first published in 1988, but the messages still translate to today’s world, making it just as important as it would have been then. The story is narrated by a 14 ...
Of all the many, many books I've read, this is my favorite. Nothing ever bests it. I wrote a whole review about why I like this book so much here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.
The Outsiders is on my list of 100 Best Films Ever Made. And I hate Tom Cruise. I hate everything about the man. His religion, his face, his hair, the way he plays the same character in every movie (Tropic Thunder excluded, but that character was just as annoying as regular Tom Cruise, so fuck that ...

A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a limousine. A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back. Ponybo...

If somebody asks me whether I read classics or not, I would say sure I love Harry potter and twilight. See that’s my definition of classics. Every time I open a Shakespeare, I end up sleeping and drooling on it. Somebody argues with me that Romeo and Juliet is the best romance, I tell them have you ...
The Outsider's is a classic coming of age tale. I read this as a 7th grader and was enthralled. I loved everyone from Ponyboy to Dally. I wanted Sodapop to be my brother (or maybe my boyfriend... I was a seventh grade girl). I remember loving this book so much that later I got the book out from the ...
A well known book. It's important in that it allowed certain subjects such as violence and class difference to be dealt with honestly in YA fiction. The author was in high school when she wrote it. It's a very impressive work for a high school student, but it lacks depth. It carries all its mean...
Who writes this stuff at just seventeen? Susan Eloise Hinton wrote this magnificent novel as a symbolic representation of a dangerous social dichotomy that was arising at the time; gangs of young hoodlums who called themselves 'greasers' (think John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever) clashed with th...
