Abandon ship! Abandon ship! I must mark this one read, as in past tense, before another brain cell is cast overboard. I get the point, but not the prose. The payoff is not worth enduring the waves of drivel. The anyhows, somewhats, and kindas are drowning me alive. I knew my reading ship had hi...
Bored me as a teenager, utterly fascinated me 1 year later. Norman Mailer called it an adolescent's view of boarding school, but Norman didn't seem to write books with much real emotion.Salinger, like Bob Dylan, Robert Zemeckis and The Three Stooges, had family from small-town Lithuania.
The Catcher in the Rye is listed as one of the book that one must read before they die, so I decided to give it a go.Holden Caulfield is around 16 or 17 years old. He leave school and sets out to New York for a few days before he goes home. He's on his own, he's loaded, and he has a craving for some...

It all over the place.He hates “phonies.” He has deep conversation that play out in his head and transfer well to the written words.

You can sometimes cope with not so good a story, can...
Wow, people are really opinionated about this book, yeah?I never read this in high school, so I decided it was about time. While I probably would have liked it in HS, I did relate to Holden quite a bit. I too, am a cynical, jaded little person. I also hate everyone. Cheers!(I'll probably be reading ...
I don't really know what to think of this book. It is one of those books in which a lot happens, but also not a lot. So I'm a bit confused. I couldn't really invest in Holden. He is hard to identify with.
The Catcher in the Rye is a marvelous, amazing, fantastic (yes I know these mean the same thing) piece of literature. Holden Caulfield is an excellent narrator who makes you think. Fans of John Green will LOVE this book. Even if you don't like classics, you have no choice but to fall in love with th...
