We read this in class within the last few weeks and I really enjoyed it.

The characters were super flawed and character development was very good.

I liked reading about the rivalries between all the Greasers and Socs, and it made it even better it was in the late sixties.

The plot and characters were well thought out, and while I still don’t recommend naming my child Ponyboy or Sodapop (by the way, why? Just why), I really liked this book.
