Sometimes there are peculiar stories, stories which will not leave you for a long time and which are going to accompany you long after having turned the last page.
Sometimes there are touching stories, stories which feel so realistic that you believe every word the author puts into the novel.
Sometimes a book simply doesn't need perfect writing, beautiful language or consistent, flawless plotlines. The Outsiders is one of those books. It has flaws, not everything is believable. But there is something else it has: heartwarming emotions.
And sometimes a book needs nothing but to be full of emotions, and that's what moved me so much in this engaging tale which is, in its very essence, a love letter to humanity and friendship.

I agree with Kelly...Perfect review!!I hope you like the movie too :)
So well said! Personally, the emotional response defines why some books become my favorites. Excellent review Councillor.
Now I feel kinda bad, I was supposed to read this as a buddy read. Great review!
Wow, Councillor. Powerful, pithy review that says it all about your emotional reaction to this book...
engaging tale which is, in its very essence, a love letter to humanity and friendshipA book that aims to bring together humanity and speaks about friendship in itself is a perfect book.

Thank you, Deanna :) I am definitely going to watch this movie (even though I'm no fan of both Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze's acting *coughs*).
Ron wrote: "So well said! Personally, the emotional response defines why some books become my favorites. Excellent review Councillor."Thank you, Ron. For me, emotions are a requirement in a book if it wants to become a favorite of mine, so we absolutely share that opinion. :)

Thank you for speaking in such high terms of it, Dolors! :)
