[Laughsalot]

i read the book and watched the movie when i was like in 7th grade. or 6th cant' remember.

[OhMyAnniee]

LOVED IT.

[Serendipity]

After I picked up that book, I couldn't put it down. It was really good. Pretty dramatic in some scenes. [:

[ANG33ZY]

I've seen the movie and I remember reading some of the book. RALPH MACCHIo hawt.

[Smoogrish]

I really didn't like that book. It was very well written and everything, but it just isn't the type of material I like to read. -shrugs- We watched the movie once, but I only liked it a little better than the book.

[HakunaMatata]

I have very, very, very bad memories about this book.

So freshman year we had to do an oral book report; basically read it and present on it for a few minutes in front of the class. Well, I didn't feel like reading it since I didn't think I'd like it so instead I read the Cliffs Notes. Uh, NOT smart. So I made a really, really, really bad fool of myself in front of everyone.

And then finally, a few months later, I did read it, and lo and behold, I really really liked it.

[Simba]

I remember reading this book a few years back.

But if I'm not mistaken, the movie didn't really impress me at all.
Maybe I'm thinking of another movie for a book though.

[malimars]

I loved it!! I read it like 4 years ago in grade 7 ...I liked it so much I wanted to read it again lol!

[Laughsalot]

the movie had tom cruise in it. i didn;t like the movie much

[HakunaMatata]

But if I'm not mistaken, the movie didn't really impress me at all.

But 17-year-old Tom Cruise is in it! How bad could it be?

[-sincerely]

i saw the movie and read the book in school. in 8th grade.
those were the days.
lol

[*xcaitlinx*]

ahh i loved the outsiders! my 6th grade teacher loved it so she made us read it for class. we also watched the movie and i enjoyed that as well.

[ParanoidAndroid]

The movie wasn't as great as the book. The book was more memorable. The guy who played Dally was f**king hot. Even as a lesbian I still think that.

[lumpy]

this book/movie is great...just about the only thing i remember is "the rumble" and "Stay Gold Ponyboy"...to this day i still say "stay gold", that phrase means alot.

[hi-C]

That book was my *ish* back in 7th grade.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Just one question, was Steve a drinker?

[Simba]

Just one question, was Steve a drinker?

How did the extra credit go?

[jennyjenny]

yes, we read that back in 7th grade, i think
it was so good that i read it outside of school before in school. the movie's not bad either

[Danielle-Son]

I had to read it for school last year and LOVED it. I've now read like 4 other books by S.E. Hinton, and they were all great, especially That Was Then, This Is Now.

[ParanoidAndroid]

How did the extra credit go?

I don't know yet. My teacher's still correcting it if you're talking about my grade. As for me finishing it. I did it in 3 hours that night.

[breakingdawn]

Awhh I love this book. I love the movie too. Tom Cruise was pitifully unattractive though. But Matt Dillon and Rob Lowe weren't too bad. Haha.

[miiichellley]

I read it in 8th grade too! and saw the movie.
I liked it, i thought it was good

[Jackaroe]

I loved this book! And to think that S.E. Hinton wrote it when she was just in her teens. It's so awesome. It's one of the first books to ever make me cry.
