The Outsiders is a good book because it had action, the characters were easy to relate to, and the cars were interesting to read about. The first reason why I think this book is good is because it has some action fights between the gangs. It was also easy to relate to the characters in this book because they are around the same age as me. The Outsiders characters drove old cars and I am really interested in older cars. For these reasons, I would give The Outsiders 3 stars.
