Assessment
I picked this book because it sounded really interesting.. My opinion of the book was that it was really good. I liked how the plot was totally different then the way it is now. My favorite part is when Ponyboy and Johnny were escaping from the law, and they saved the children from a church fire. They turned from juvenile delinquents to heroes. I never disliked it, it was filled with excitement all the way through. I rate this book five stars easy! I recommend this book to anyone over 13 because it is a little mature for some audiences.
