Sometimes there are peculiar stories, stories which will not leave you for a long time and which are going to accompany you long after having turned the last page. 
 Sometimes there are touching stories, stories which feel so realistic that you believe every word the author puts into the novel. 
 Sometimes a book simply doesn't need perfect writing, beautiful language or consistent, flawless plotlines. The Outsiders is one of those books. It has flaws, not everything is believable. But there is something else it has: heartwarming emotions. 
 And sometimes a book needs nothing but to be full of emotions, and that's what moved me so much in this engaging tale which is, in its very essence, a love letter to humanity and friendship.
