Your in grade eight huh? I really hate that book. Really. I see what she was trying to do with it and I respect the message but - I hate it. Ponyboy is too annoying of a main character for me to actually enjoy the book.

Have you had to watch the movie yet? It's - interesting.

Yes I am, I do to, yes I agree, and no, I'll never watch it as long as I'm on earth. They probably show it in Hell though. I'll have to be good... I don't want to see any movie based ona book by S.E. Hinton...
And what's with all the names? "Ponyboy", "Sodapop", "Two-bit", etc... <_<
Those names are gangsta... ;)

Exactly. There are a two gangs. And it's based off the Romeo and Juliet plotline. It's a stupid book so far.

They aren't supposed to be gangsta they're supposed to be 'original' and 'creative'. Personally I find them stupid. Stick with it Apollo, although I can't say it'll get any better. The ending is incredebly corny.

That's not a spoiler. I didn't say what was corny about the ending. And the whole book is corny so there you go.

The Dragons of Autumn Twilight. A friend reccomended it so I figured I'd give it a shot.

I just finished Children of Hurin, by JRR Tolkien. It was published this year and basically builds upon the Silmarlion.
