Introduction In this book review, about the book "The Outsiders" by SE Hinton, I will discuss the character development and plot, as well as the setting, style of the author and my opinions on the book. In this part of the review, I will give some information about the topics of the book and the author. The author wrote the story when she was just 16 years old in the 1950s. The book was a great success and sold, and still does, many copies as a novel for young adults. A film was made about it and today, many schools still use this book in middle and high schools for English lessons. Plays have also been based around the book. The Outsiders is about a gang. They live in a town in Oklahoma. Ponyboy Curtis, a 14-year-old greaser, narrates the story. Other characters include Ponyboy's brothers Sodapop and Darry, Johnny, Dallas, and Two-Bit, who were also gang members and friends of Ponyboy. This story deals with two forms of social classes: the socs, the rich children, and the greasers, the poor children. The common people look for trouble and greasers to beat up, and then the greasers are blamed, because they are poor and cannot influence the authorities.

As you can see, it gets straight to the point, without any prologue or any sort of introduction. The plot development in the middle of the story made sense and was easy to understand. It was clear and simple, and events unfolded in a reasonable order. The end of the story was a bit expected. I anticipated Johnny's death because a broken neck usually means death. Dally's death was not as predictable as Johnny's because it was said, "He was tougher than the rest of us – tougher, colder, meaner..
