	The Outsiders Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		His nervous collapse at the end of the novel galvanizes the resolve of the rest of the greasers.
		Hinton's novel whould have been more of an achevement had she been able to generate empathy for the members of an underclass who are not simply "noble savages".
		It is easy to accept the romantic portrayal of a marginalized class of people; it is difficult to accept a cold, accurate rendering of the same group, espacally when the group's attitudes, values and behaviours are profoundly different from those of the reader.

	Term Paper on The Outsiders
		In the novel, The Outsiders, events are depicted with great detail by the author but in film those events are somewhat lost on the screen in at least five instances.
		The first instance is revealed in that the story from the novel is told in first person from Ponyboy’s perception, in the movie you do not know that he is telling the entire story.
		There are many differences between reading a novel and watching a film and I for one am a person who would much rather experience a novel in full detail and use my own imagination to make the novel come to life.

	DVD Talk Review: The Outsiders: The Complete Novel
		On its surface, The Outsiders is a deceptively simple story — a timeless class struggle as seen through the eyes of wayward teenagers that has resonated with new generations of youthful readers for close to four decades — Oklahoma native S.E. Hinton's 1967 novel has been required reading for legions of high school students.
		The teenage years are highly charged and overly emotional ones, a mindset that Hinton (and by extension, director Francis Ford Coppola) captured perfectly: it's no mystery why this story continues to resonate with generation after generation of teens who feel "outside" the norm and need to identify with something.
		The Outsiders: The Complete Novel is presented in a gorgeous, nearly flawless 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer that suffers from slight grain (more noticeably in the restored scenes) and occasional flecks but otherwise looks absolutely sterling, betraying its age.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Satire and the Academic Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The satiric campus novel, in its contemporary form, begins with a cluster of novels written in the 1950s: Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim (1954) and Malcolm Bradbury’s Eating People is Wrong (1959) in Britain; Mary McCarthy’s The Groves of Academe (1953) and Randell Jarrell’s Pictures from an Institution (1954) in the United States.
		The problem of making distinctions that identify the satiric campus novel is intensified by the tendency of the novel and satire to overlap.
		But a novel feels like satire when the reader senses that irony, analysis, and attack are more important than empathy for the central characters.

	DVD Review: The Outsiders - The Complete Novel - Cinematical
		Three years later (and after the abject failure of his self-produced 1982 romantic comedy, One From The Heart), The Outsiders was released, grossing a modestly successful $25.6 million and launching the careers of its young, mostly male cast.
		The coolest value-added feature is "Casting The Outsiders", in which veteran casting director Fred Roos, who had been with the Coppolas since the first Godfather, spins tales of finding the best boys (and girl) for the part.
		Alas, however, anyone wondering when the short-lived Outsiders TV series might appear must continue to wait, as there is not a mention of it in this set.

		Based on the novel by S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders is a novel that numerous school systems have taken on as reading material for their high school classes.

		The Outsiders relies largely on archival footage from the period and present day commentary that sometimes comes off a bit too wistful, so perhaps Coppola is on to something by keeping the entirety of extras to little more than one hour.
		As a package, this new DVD confirms this, with the director, author, and actors gushing over the film, mainly because it came at a central point in all of their lives.
		From Hinton, who needed a big adaptation, Coppola, who desperately needed a hit, and the young actors who were scratching and clawing to make it in an unforgiving town, this sentiment is real, and it carried over into the soul of the picture.
