I found this book in a country store on my last visit to NH. I was so excited! I haven’t read this book since 7th grade over 30 years ago!
I am about 40 pages in and loving it as much as I did in my early teenage years. In my earlier childhood I lived in a very bad neighborhood (think ghetto—Providence, RI). I moved to a small town in MA when I was 12. Talk about culture shock! It kind of reminds me of the differences between the greasers and the Socs in this book.
I can’t wait to take this journey again with Ponyboy and his gang. It’s a comforting nostalgic feeling.
