Derek Ayers writes the following about The Outsiders :

This book was okay, there was a couple of interesting parts in the book, but was very boring many times through the book. I couldn't get very interested in this book but would recomend the book to others because they may have interest in it. The part that made me fall asleep was the part that Darry hit Ponyboy and I think it got all touchy and y after that. The raeson is all the guys were crying and they weren't as tough as they seemed. It got really emotional after that happened. The part that interested me was the ble. It was very intense and cool. I liked how Dally came and was looked at as a hero. Overall I didn't like this book but others might have interest in it like or sensitive guys. The book is good to read in classes or if you like reading books it would be a good book to read. Everyone needs to feel accepted is shown throughout the book. For instance Johnny needs to feel accepted because he has a bad home life with his parents. Ponyboy needs to feel accepted because he feels unwanted when Darry yells or hits him.
