I had to read this book for school two years ago and was not able to get through it because of how bad it was and I didn't have enough time to push myself to finish it. I decided to retry it now because I figured it could not be as bad as I remembered. It was not, it was even worse. Holden is the m...
Magnificent. That one word can be used to describe my feelings about this book. Nothing happens in this book, yet at the same time everything happens. The book takes place over the course of a single weekend during which Franny Glass has breakdown. Returning home after passing out at a planned out...
I don't get Salinger. I don't get why he is both critically and popularly acclaimed. This book is supposed to be on the relation between art and religion and explores various ideas in various ways.My major problem with Salinger is that he writes about elitist douche-bags, which is fine, but he not...

It is one of those "Life List" books that I never read in high school but felt like I should. The novel is a Holden C...

In this book we get to know more about Seymour Glass thr...
This book marks my 7th book read on my Classic's List for my Classic's Challenge. I can't say that I necessarily enjoyed this book. It mostly served the purpose of checking it off my TBR list and satisfying a curiosity. Never reading this in high school I wonder if I might have liked it more if ...
I have very mixed feelings about this book.It was a decent read,but I found Holden to be really annoying and had to stop a few times while reading because I couldn't handle him anymore.I tried to ignore it,but I had a hard time doing so.I'm not going to rate this one,again,because I'm not really sur...
Since his debut in 1951 as The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with "cynical adolescent." Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old life, just after he's been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel o...
