Review Detail

Reader reviewed by An_d

This is a story about a group of kids living on the wrong side of the tracks.  The amount of money you have or where you live determines your status on the food chain.  It's about hard living and rising up from humble beginnings to falling hard from living high and mighty.  You root for the "greasers" and rally on their sides, but at the same time you question their lifestyles and their ethics.  It's emotionally deep and brings a lot of your own beliefs in check.    It's a quick and easy read and perfect for reluctant readers.   A classic all the way around.
