The Outsiders was never on any of my school reading lists and I never felt compelled to pick it up on my own until now. As much as I've heard about this book, I had no idea what it was about (what a shock for me). It's in between a 3 and a 4 for me because while I enjoyed the ending and the relationships between the characters, I was forcing my way through each chapter. It wasn't a page turner that I couldn't put down, but it wasn't a bad book either. I liked it well enough, but it's not a favorite for me.
