“Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold...”

This was very good! My sister has been telling me to read it for three years straight, so I had high expectations going into this book, and it didn't disappoint! The story follows a fourteen-year-old greaser named Ponyboy Curtis (yes, that is his real name) who can't seem to catch a break. He's good with school and lives with his two older brothers Darry, and Sodapop.

I won't spoil it for you, but things get bad, and Ponyboy has to deal with the effects. I didn't get hooked on the book until the fourth chapter, but it isn't bad at the start. That's only when it starts to get especially interesting.

This book has some of the best characters I've ever seen, and it feels like I've known them for forever!
