I read Rob Lowe's book a while ago and  this was my favorite part. Because I was about 13 when The Outsiders was released, I became captivated by these hot young actors playing the "greasers" from the book By S.E. Hinton. Not only did it become (and still is) one of my favorite movies, but Rob and the others became some of my favorite actors of the time. Now about 28 years later having a chance to read about the auditioning, rehearsing and filming of the movie from Rob, himself, was a delite for this fan. I especially enjoyed hearing about some of the "tactics" director Francis Ford Coppola used to help get the guys prepared for their parts.  When I saw amazon was offering this section of the book as a "stand alone" short story for free, I didn't have to think twice about preordering it. Now I can go back and reread this entertaining story over again. I suggest to any fan of Rob Lowe that you read the entire book, as it truly was like hearing stories from a close friend, but if you just want to read about the making of THE OUTSIDERS movie, then I suggest this download for kindle
