The Outsiders Audiobook by S. E. Hinton— narrated by Jim Fyfe
S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders is a short, hard-hitting coming-of-age novel about Ponyboy Curtis, a fourteen-year-old greaser, his two brothers, and a feud with the rich Socs that goes too far. It's a story about chosen family and class lines, and it still lands with teenagers and adults alike.
Why the audiobook wins
Jim Fyfe reads The Outsiders, which is narrated by Ponyboy Curtis, a fourteen-year-old greaser whose voice is so plain and open that you forget you are being told a story. Hinton wrote it as a teenager, and there is no condescension in it.
At a little over five hours, it fits an afternoon or a weekend of short listens. The story runs across about a week and moves fast. The violence is real, and plenty of readers admit they cried near the end, so it is worth knowing both before you press play. The brothers at its center are easy to care about.
One Audible credit covers the whole book. It is short enough to hear again.
