both of them are awesome, but I find the ending of the movie really sad
oh you know....alot of people :/
We're reading it right now... SO. FREAKING. GOOD.
i read this for school in the seventh grade when I lived in kansas. I when to um...I forgot the name of the school but it had something to do with troopers.
I read it in 7th grade, It was REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!1
I read this in grade 8 at school i am now going into grade 11 and this is still my favourite book ever! i have a hard copy of it on my bookshelf!
I read this sometime around middle school, 8th grade I believe. We read it as a class and watched the movie as well. It's a really good book, I love it!
Tried to convince my middle school teacher to let us read it again :)
If you didnt read this book for school then your school if weird.
I taught it in 7th grade for 17 years.
I had to read that last year
I read it for 7th grade, but I probably would have read it myself later anyway.
I read this last school year (2012-2013), and I was in 7th grade at the time. It made me cry so hard, those last several chapters! I had a huge pile of balled-up tissues near the tissue box.
It was published in 1997. I graduated High School in 1965, so no, I did not read it in school. I read it as a novel for pleasure, as the author intended. Interesting comments, though.
read it in at end of Year 10, i really enjoy reading the book.
If only! There was much drier stuff i had to read for my O'levels- Macbeth, DH Lawrence Short Stories and Lord Of The Flies. Lord of the Flies would be good if not for all the religeous undertone you're supposed to see.
Macbeth was OK, probably the easiest Shakespeare to read.
I hated Lawrence then and still do

I remember reading this book in year 8 at senior school in English lessons and having to re-read it in order to answer pages and pages of questions on it and then write an essay about part of it.somehow i managed to keep my copy of the book from school and i still have it now (i left school 15yrs ago!). It's a great book to read. Recently my 11yr old son asked if he could read it and i let him, he said it was a bit strange but he enjoyed it.
I didn't realize until i saw this discussion that it was still being read in school.
I read it in English. I probably wouldn’t have chose it to read for fun, but after reading it I thought it was an okay book. Kind of boring though, like when you think something is going to happen and reach a climax, then it doesn’t. Ending has a cool twist though.
I read it this year in school and loved it!!!

i read it for english in seventh grade it's really good
Me! I usually hate the books we read for school but this book is my new fave!
I read this book in 7th grade. It was the first book I read that I really liked! Havent stopped since
7th grade. It was a good book, though my teacher tried to force us to see how "deep" book is, so it was barely appreciated for what it is.
English teachers...they all want to be poets.
we just finished it :) its a pretty good book. short, tho
7th grade but im in honors so 8th grade
When I was in 8th grade in 1968 the teacher read this book aloud to us. It was a really memorable experience. Every afternoon we could just relax and listen.
I loved this book sooo much, and the character's, that I named my fish after them...Soda Pop and Pony Boy!

This is one of my favourite books. I've re-read this book every year since I was a kid and I still love it just as much!
I didn't read this for school, but I think it would be a wonderful book to have in a school curriculum. It's my favorite book of all-time, and it changed my life (man, that sounds corny, but it's true!). The lessons in the book still resonate today, and who can forget Darry, Ponyboy, and Sodapop?
I read this in 7th grade. Its one of my most favorite books by far :)
I had to read it in eighth grade. It's a pretty good book in my opinion.
I read this book for summer reading going into eighth grade, it's great!
I read this my freshman year in high school for a book report. This book is actually what got me into reading.

I had to read this in like grade 7. It's still one of my favorites.
8th grade, watched the movie by myself. :] Loved it!! Go Ponyboy!
8th grade, one of my favorites even though it was for school.
I read this in 7th grade and I love it so much. I checked out the other S.E Hinton books and they were great.
The Outsiders, had to read that when I was in 7th grade, way back in 1969. Such a good book loved the movie too!!!!
