S.E. HINTON has style and taste – not surprising

The publication of The Outsiders over forty years ago turned the young adult publishing industry upside down. Bored with the simplistic themes common to teenage literature at the time, S.E. Hinton, a teenager herself, set out to write a novel that contained all the gritty realism that surrounded her at Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Praised, condemned, and in some cases even banned, The Outsiders opened a new genre of realistic young adult fiction. S.E. Hinton went on to write many more critically acclaimed young adult novels, as well as branch into picture books, middle grade chapter books, and books for adults. Still, it is for her first book, The Outsiders, that the name S.E. Hinton is most recognized.

She is quite talented. The Outsiders is a cult classic. enuff said.
And suddenly it’s all crystal clear.
There are no homoerotic undertones that are similar in either ;-P

I loved that book/movie. I can see why she would be a fan of SPN
Johnny and Pony Boy make my heart go squee. That movie always makes me cry. I need to rewatch it.
