The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is one of my favourite books I've ever read in school.
The first time I read this I was probably 13 years old and I couldn't just read it in my 8th grade English class alongside everyone and the teacher. I had to go home and finish the whole thing myself first.
And all I remember is balling my eyes out.
This was the first book that probably ever made me cry and I loved it so much.
As I read this a second time, I just would read a line and remember talking about it in detail in class and it was actually kind of funny to me.
I forgot all of the details of what happened in this book but I was glad I re-read it. Right before the rumble happened I couldn't read it anymore for some reason and put it down. But I picked it up the next day and finished off the last 20 pages or so.
My next plan is to watch the movie before I start reading my next book.
If you never had the opportunity to read this book in school like I did, then I highly recommend you go out and pick up a copy to read right now. Even if it's a library copy or borrowing a friends. Heck, borrow my copy if you want to.
You have to read this book before you turn 25. At least. If not, before you die please. You're never too old for a good book.
If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.
Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
