Ms. Hinton is unquestionably the most underappreciated writer of all time. It's one thing to be capable of quality prose. It is quite another for that prose to have impacted so many people, from so many places for so many years.
SE Hinton… Outisiders was the first book I ever read. I was 18. In fact the book taught me how to read …..because I related so intimately with the characters and So I had to persevere … I feel deeply for the internet generation that can’t fuck up , even slightly, without a life long record of personal human fallibility…. but not even that….. Your books and my life were in a time before this terrible circumstance. Fabulous. Thank you.
Loved Outsiders, Tex and TWTTIN, but my favorite book of S.E. Hinton's is and always will be Rumble Fish. This taut book says so much in its 144 pages, and the fact such a young person (think she was 25 or 26 when she wrote this one) can write such intriguing characters and set such a dark and foreboding tone is astonishing. Always hoped she would write another novel or two like this one. I think a lot of us have known people like this in our time.
I read The Outsiders in one day, I remember being in the car reading while my dad and I were driving late home and I was making the most of the traffic and outside lamp lights and when we got home I didn't stop until I'd finished. It's a short read you might say but I wasn't much into reading. I'll never forget how attached I felt to the character's emotions
One of my favorite books ever! Loved her cameo in the movie. Loved the movie itself. I remember explaining the themes of “The Outsiders” to my little sister who had to write a book report, and I told her that some of the characters were victims of circumstance.
Rhin O yea it was tough to be the one to turn him in.. but I think about it now as an adult and I realized he did the right thing. He did what he had to do... their story actually continues in SE Hintons other novel “Tex”. It’s a big twist!

Nah, I think she’s definitely appreciated.

I agree. And S.E. Hinton also says that Rumble Fish is her favorite portrayal..."Easiest to read, hardest to understand."

One of my favorite authors. I’ve read almost all her books.. “That Was Then, This Is Now” and “Tex” are two of my favorite books ever.
Rhin O that book broke my heart.
