After reading this book so many times over the years, it still holds up as one of my favorites. The character growth and relationships between the cast of characters is what carries this story and its strong enough to pull it off.

This book was even better than I remembered it being when I was younger. The narration was so character-driven and so deep inside Ponyboy's own head that you really got a sense of the world and people in this story. Heartbreaking and beautiful. A great kid's book that doesn't shy away from the complexities children face and know about. It tackles those issues head on and never does anything but assume the reader is as smart, if not smarter, than Ponyboy himself. Stay gold :')

Don’t know how I’ve gone so long without reading thing despite watching the movie so many times. 
But loved it regardless.
