Tensions between two gangs become a life or death situation.  Two Greasers (Johnny and Ponyboy) become friends with two wealthy "socialite" Soc girls at a drive-in.  The rest of the Soc gang finds out and beats up Johnny and attempts to drown Ponyboy in a foutnain.  Johnny kills one of the Socs in the process of trying to save Ponyboy.  They know they're going to get into trouble, so they go their older Greaser friend Dallas, who find them a place to hide out for a while.  Meanwhile, the two gangs back home plan to fight. 

I would recommend this book to anybody who likes a good fight or drama.  If you like happy endings, The Outsiders would probably work for you.
