Thank you.

I think i will read it. Most of the books I listed are in the genre that I usually read books from. I'm open minded when it comes to books, but I just wanted to have an idea and a few opinions from others. Thank you (some of you) for your helpful answers.

Anna M::::: Yeah it might not be my 'type' but i will definitely read it.

I've read a lot of the books that you've read, and those are the type that I like to read, too. Last year, in 7th grade, we had to read The Outsiders for school, though. At first, I didn't really like it, because it's about boys and the narrator is a guy, too. In the end, I ended up liking it a lot. If you want to read it, then you should, regardless if you'll like it or not. Sometimes, it's good to read things that are new and different to you.

i think u should okay watch the movie first it was really good. it has tom cruise and the guy off the karate kid. if u dont read it u miss a really good book. i think u should expand more of what u read too.

Well I read The Outsiders and LOVED it, but based off the kinds of books you like to read... I'm gonna guess you probably won't like it. It's not an upbeat story exactly, it's about the rich "soc's" against the grungy "greasers" and it's not like a love story either. Don't get me wrong, I still think you should read it! It's an amazing book, but there's I'm just saying it's not an "upbeat" story....

i think you should read it, its good. But i thought it was sad.

I read it a few years ago, and i LOVED it. I don't read that much, but i thought it was good. But, I'm not into like science fiction books or like real old books; i like books about everyday people.
i don't know.... i liked it.

i doubt it's your 'type'
there's close to no romance, only two girls in the whole thing, but it is a great book.
i'm a fantasy person, but i loved it. it brought tears to my eyes.
read it anyway.(i thought it was requiered reading in middle school...huh)
