The Outsiders is a pretty good book because of the personal view, action, and slang words. One of the things I really liked about the book was the personal view. I like books that tell from a personal point of view, because. it gives the reader a more in depth feel for the book. This also puts the reader in the characters shoes so they can feel what the characters are feeling. The action of the book definitely kept me on my toes, and caught my attention. This is a quality that only some books may have. Another part of the book I really liked was the slang words the characters used throughout the book. It definitely makes you feel that you're in that time period throughout the book. For these reasons, I would give The Outsiders a four star rating. I loved all the qualities this book had.
