This was my second time | read this book I enjoyed reading the book both times. I liked reading it because it seemed so realistic and that is what catches a reader like me. The author used a lot of detail and explained the differences between the greasers and the socs. She explained why there was so much conflict between both sides, and it was all over nothing. i recommend this book to anyone who likes a lot of action and surprises when reading. The movie was also very good.
