every time I exited a movie theatre after reading this book in grade 7, I would always think of this book's opening line.
you can tell that S. E. Hinton wrote this at age 16 - the writing is repetitive at times, the themes are too spoon fed to the reader in scenes, and some moments fall flat - but regardless of that fact, this book stays with me because of it's heart. you can't help but keep reading, hoping that every thing works out for Ponyboy and Johnny, even though nothing in real life comes that easy. the bonds of brotherhood (both by blood and by choice) that is central to this novel is its strength and its why I love this story so much.
stay gold <3
