I had to read this in 11th grade. My teacher insisted that she had never had a student who didn't like it. I guess I was her first.I hated this book. The protagonist drove me crazy. He whined and complained about his life so much I just could not relate to him at all. He was pitiful and his aver...

A book where the characters really do bounce off the pages. Holden is a character that you can see in others you may have known through school (though hopefully only in small instances, and not completely) and you read on, almost waiting for the train wreck to happen. I really wish this had been a b...

Si de verdad les interesa lo que voy a contarles, lo primero que querrán saber es de que trata el libro, como fue todo ese rollo de los personajes, que tal es la escritura y demás puñetas, pero no tengo ganas de contarles nada de eso.Uno de los libros más aburridos que he leído en mi vida.Asi que si...

A reader of mine suggested that I read outside of my usual genres (Teen, Paranormal,etc) and review it for all to see. Even if the review would end up being a one to three star out of a five star rating. And for some reason, I decided to start with The Catcher in the Rye.Now, being from Bahrain and ...

This is a unique book. Never before have I encountered something like this in the world of literature. I loooooved Holden Caulfield. He's this savvy, opinionated teenager and it's wonderful to read his view of American society. The thing is - I don't think that Holden is the perfect role model for t...

I finished this book quite fast. It’s the kind of book that keeps you reading, suddenly you’ve read 20 pages without noticing you read so much, but you don’t have to keep reading, like with page-turners. I really liked this book. I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower before this one and I noticed a...

One of my favorite things about studying engineering in college is the fact that I did not have to take any more English classes. I love to read, but I detest writing about what I read. And then being graded on it. I will take problem sets any day of the week. What does that have to do with Catcher ...

The great C.S. Lewis had opined - "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest" - and who, indeed, would dare contradict him? I had kept myself away from the The Chronicles of Narnia for a long time, believing I had already outgrown that ph...
