Review Detail

Reader reviewed by two sided freek

It's hard to believe that this book was originally started when S E Hinton was only 15. This book is written with the maturity of a much older author. It confronts topics such as stereotype and judgements. It really shows you how people judge others by their labels. This book makes you think, evaluate every detail and conclude what you would do in the situation.

It's a very real story that shows you how bad life can get and somehow it is very much true. The characters have vivid personalities that make you laugh and cry with sympathy. The part about the poem is especially deep and touches a soft spot in your heart.
