Saw the Broadway adaptation first and was obsessed. This book is similar to the production, but with different subplots. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and story

I just think this book is really great. I loved it as a teen and I love it now. If I'd give it any flaws I'd say that it obviously only focuses on the plight of white young men in the 60s. There are also some regressive language used.

A classic for a reason! It’s a little juvenile but it’s supposed to be. Lots of heart. I’m gonna go read fan fiction about Dally and Johnny and wonder if the icon herself wrote it.

oh my gosh. I can't even begin to explain how good of a book this is. Generally, this isn't really a book I would pick up on my own behalf, but I have just read it for school, and oooOOOHh it was great.

It's a do the play in middle school and see the musical version over the summer to finally read the book pipeline. I want more stories that recognise teenage boys' vulnerability.

I knew that when I reread this book I was going to be once again blown away at how a simple story can have such an impact on the reader. I remember reading this in middle school and being so invested in the world of greasers and socses and that happened to be the case again. Show casing that just because you come from the wrong side of the tracks in no way means that you are a bad person. I will forever love this book and hope it continues to be read in schools.
