Though I usually prefer science fiction and fantasy‚ reading The Outsiders was a phenomenal experience. The story line is good‚ but what sparked my interest is how S. E. Hinton‚ who was 16 at the time she created this‚ writes. Everything flows smoothly‚ and with so much detail.

The Outsiders is about a gang of “greasers‚” or underprivileged teenagers
