Ach Holden, wie vielen Jugendlichen geht es so wie dir? Kein Kind mehr und auch noch kein Erwachsener. Wie schwer es ist sich manchmal in der Welt zurechtzufinden. Seinen Platz zu behaupten, vor allem wenn man das Gefühl hat, dass es keinen Platz für einen gibt. Es wundert mich nicht, dass das Buch...

I understand why you should not read this for the first time as an adult but my education was neglected in my teens, obviously, since I did not read it then. Holden is a pain where the sun don't shine. He is so whiny. He acts as if he's seen everything, done everything, and knows everything but, ...

It's true that I didn't remember the book this way. Maybe I was too young the first time I read it, but certainly there were things I needed to live to fully understand it.However, I didn't quite like it the first time... and still didn't quite like it this one. I feel Holden's pain about some thing...

Going to have to separate the artist from the art here. I know that Catcher was a deeply personal book to Salinger, but that doesn't change the fact that it was immensely dull to read.In theory, this should have appealed to me, according to the vast majority of the readers who consider it an endurin...

I went into this book with exceedingly high expectations, having been told by someone whose opinion I trust immensely that it is potentially better than Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (one of my all-time favorites). I wasn't sure if I would agree, but I went into Franny and Zooey expecting great thin...

In fairness, this is probably close to a 3.5 star review, because I found myself getting bored a few times throughout, and generally was not nearly as captivated as I would need to be for a perfect 4 star review. That said, with a short story collection I prefer to rate according to my favorite shor...

I honestly don't know where to begin with this mess of a novel. It was repetitive and boring. The main character had his head up his own ass through this entire book, which is not surprising since he is a teenager. I know that I was supposed to probably sit around afterwards and discuss how profound...
