This book should have been so much better. It deserved much better than two stars, definitely, but I could not bring myself to give it. I'll explain why at the end. The story was excellent and engaging. It wasn't a cookie-cutter style, it didn't leave the reader all warm and fuzzy in the end, just like you expected when you picked it up with it's bright, happy cover. In the way that it represented the lives of the characters, it was a success and would well fit into the category of YAL. The book does not try to force a stance on the reader, or push the reader to categorize everything with neat labels. It puts the situations out there for the reader to see and hides nothing. A young reader would not feel insulted by being led around the ideas of the story. This book would certainly appeal to younger readers for its veracity and daring. It paints a vivid picture of the hardships of urban youths, which would be relatable to many, and intriguing to others. Because of the content, I would recommend this book to older teens and be sure that other resources were available to them. At the very least, that their parents were aware of the book and available to discuss it with them. As for teaching it in a classroom, I cannot see this as an appropriate academic piece. Content aside, there isn't anything of literary significance that can be gained here that can't be gained elsewhere equally well without the potential for parental objections. Now, for the reason I gave this book only two stars. The voice in the story is completely wrong. The narrator and protagonist, Ponyboy, is an adolescent male, but this story is dripping with obvious feminine tone and diction. It simply does not fit the story, the character, or the intent. From the very first page to the last, I simply could not reconcile the voice with the story, and it ruined it.
