Who else read this for school?

[Parker]

It's required reading right now for my grade and class.

[Taylor]

7th grade, and read the sequel in eighth!

[A.M.]

I first read this when I was fourteen. This book inspired me to write. I love the characters of Ponyboy, Johnny and Dallas. Sodapop and Darry were fascinating too. I highly recommend this book especially for young people. I am amazed that S.E Hinton wrote this at only 16. A.M Torres Love Child

[Viktorija]

I think I read thins in 8th grade and I swear I was the only one who loved it! I don't know what drew me to it since stories about gangs have never been my thing, but its still one of my favorites (:

Everyone else thought it was boring and wouldn't stop whining about how 'boring' it was. Their loss.

[Alyssa]

[Megan]

I read it for summer reading 6th through 7th grade. I absolutely fell in love! Stay gold

[Cindy]

I didn't have to read it for school. I read it when the movie came out. I must have been about 11. I read it two and a half times in one weekend!! That was a lot for me back then. That's how I knew how much I loved it!!!! :)

[Sandy]

I read it in the mid 70s for school, also read 3 other books by the same author, I can still rember the opening line, one the most memorable of any of 100s of books I have read. It was, soemthing like, 'As I stepped out into the bright sunlight...' Really liked the book.

[Emma]

I read it in 8th.... I love you Johnny... :)

[Jania]

this book was so interesting, i loved Pony and johnny
i hated the movie .-.

[Lorene]

Not only did I read it back in high school, I read it to my class every year! I love this book and so do my students! Sometimes they beg for a re-read! I allow my kiddos to watch the movie after reading the book and they are ALWAYS disappointed. The actors do NOT fit the descriptions of the characters. After reading the book and watching the movie, they understand why I tell them the book is almost always better than the movie!

[Nini]

I did in year 8 (grade 7 or 8, I think) and we saw the movie. I was about to cry in class when we read the part where Johnny cried. I got to understand the concept of the poem in the story though. Love this book <3

[Natasha]

I just read it this year (7th grade) - literally just finished it a few weeks ago. This is literally the best book I've read for middle school.

[Hunter]

The Movie let me tell you was a splendid movie

[Z]

I'm currently in 8th grade and my lit class is reading it. I was so sucked in, however, that I finished the book about a week ago (some pun intended)

[Sabrina]

I originally read and finished the Outsiders before I even knew I had to read it in eighth grade lol, I think I was in seventh when I discovered it. When I heard we were reading it in eighth grade, I was so excited because I had really loved the book and wanted to see if my classmates enjoyed it. But yeah, I reread it during that year and I still liked it as much as I did a year ago!

[Jessica]

I read The Outsiders in seventh grade and it became one of my favorite books. I love the movie as well, but I am glad I read the book first.

[MavericktheMadDawg]

First read it in high school and since then ive read almost once every year!

[18BlueberryQueen]

Me we had to read it at home but still for school! 7th grade!!!

[18BlueberryQueen]

I read when I was 13 in 2018 but my dad had Ben trying to get me to read it. I did cry at let end and I wish they changed it a little. By the way does anyone know we’re u get the longer version of the movie?

[Stella]

Me! 7th grade summer project!

[Susannah]

[Terra]

Yeah we read it in middle school. It's my favorite book. After we finished reading it we watched the movie & then I went out & bought both the book & movie

[Tammy]

I picked this up of my own free will. As a kid I was completely obsessed with the film so I have always wanted to read the book.

[Brianna]

In sixth grade my teacher sorted us into groups that read different books. My group didn't end up getting The Outsiders, but the group that got The Outsiders loved it so much and talked about all the time that I bought it myself even though it wasn't required for me. Then I fell in love with it and watched the movie every day when I came home from school. Still love that movie :))

[JAnn]

I read this book for school back in the early 80's and still my favorite.
