Product Description:
A heroic story of friendship and belonging.

Ponyboy can count on his brothers. And on his friends. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect–until the night someone takes things too far.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hinton Delivers
"The outsiders" is a great book about loyalty and friendship. Ponyboy is the youngest of his brothers and the youngest in his gang. The other characters are Two bit, Sodapop, Dally, Steve, and Johnny. Their rivals the Socs fight the Greasers just for fun. Ponyboy has never gotten bothered until the night Ponyboy walks home alone and gets jumped. This creates tensions for the two rival gangs. But somebody in one of the gangs takes it to far. And they are forced to leave town and hide out from the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Literature Circle Book
The outsiders is a heroic book about the troubles of growing up as a greaser in town also full of Socs. Ponyboy and his best friend Johnny need to make difficult decisions after several accidents leading to them becoming heroes and juvenile delinquents. I would reccomend this book to people that enjoy stories with suprising twists and thrills along the way.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent audio for The Outsiders
This audio tape is outstanding! The reader does a great job in reading the novel word for word with a comfortable pace for my 7th graders. He changes the voices for the lead characters. When my students request the audio instead of reading it out loud, then I know that this is a good tape. I recommend this audio tape to anyone who loves to be read to.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A little disappointing
This audiobook is okay. The quality is good, but there is not a guide to what is the tracks of the four different cd's. Not user friendly in that sense. The narrator is also very country--which I'm not sure is appropriate for a supposed Oklahoma kid.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bringing novels to life
Reading a novel is one thing but listening whilst reading adds a new dimension to it. The Outsiders is written by an American author and it's set in the 1960s. I am Australian and the language in the novel is not. It makes sense to listen to a trained actor deliver the novel with the correct intonation, dramatic intensity and charaterisation that simply reading cannot provide. The themes in The Outsiders are relevant to today's teenagers who deal with peer pressure, dysfunctional families and the ... Read More
