The Catcher in the Rye

Rating:
Summary: This book changes lives...
Review: 'A Catcher in the Rye' isn't about being a perfect person. It is about what teens are really like...then & now. I've read this book quite a few times. I treat it as a sanctuary to where I retreat when things get rough. A place of comfort, if you will, that will always be there when need be. Everyone who has not only read but understands this brilliant work of literary art should know what I mean. A definite masterpiece.

Rating:
Summary: Great Book! One to read again.
Review: I'll keep this short:

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is a very, very good book (but awfully depressing). Besides being interested for the story, it is one of the few books I'm looking forward to reading again to find a "deeper meaning." Read this book.

Summary: This book captured me becaue I am in the age area of Holden.
Review: The day we started reading "The Catcher in the Rye" in my Junior english class, at first I really didn't understand it for the first couple pages. But after those first couple pages, I was so engrossed in the book that I could not put it down. I wouldn't stop reading the book until early in the morning. And I had to get up early the next morning. This book is my favorite and I'm glad me High School is allowing us to read it in class. They should make more books like this.

Summary: simply perfect
Review: It is a shame that many of the reviews of great literary masterpieces posted at Amazon are by children or adolescents that, sorry, probably lack the life experience and maturity these novels require, yet how anyone (especially youths) cannot relate or find truth, beauty, and insight in Salinger's gem is beyond my comprehension. I once had a philosophy professor who told my class that if someone has never felt alienated, they are probably a moron. This is the quintessential document on teenage angst and alienation. SALINGER, PLEASE PUBLISH YOUR WORK!!!!!

Summary: a must read
Review: whn i got half way through this book, i didn't want it to end. it is one of those rare books you want to go on forever. it must be a must-read for all teenagers. and also for those adults who can't remember ever being teenagers.

Rating:
Summary: A very good book to read but dull to read
Review: This is not a good moving book. It just talk about Holden life. This book is easy to read. Very disapointing ending. The ending is about Holden is happy again with Pheobe. Boring. It's a funny book. I gave this book only 3 stars because I just only like the bad languages. I only reccomended this book to a person that wants to hear about someone's life.

Summary: "if you really want to hear about it..."
Review: may i begin with stating that holden is everything to me. it is true when i say that this book has chnaged my life, this book captures the reality of being young like nothing else i have ever experienced. when i first read this book it was in one sitting, i could not leave it. salinger is able to create a character that no longer exists just in this novel, but i felt as if holden had been my best friend forever and all. in fact it depresses the hell out of me when i think that he does not really exist: i wish he did. i also think that the brilliance of this novel is not just to be for teenagers, it is great enough for people of all ages to appreciate. basically: this is on my list of the greatest books ever, and i have better than excellent taste. everybody should read this book. or at least, anybody who wants to talk to ME ever.

Rating:
Summary: I love this book
Review: The story of Holden Caulfield who drops out of school. He is a mixed up teenager and narrates the novel. He hates "phoniness", basically the way adults compromise and so lose their ideals and accept that loss and stop searching for the truth. It will change your life. John Lennon was shot by a man who gave his reason as to get more people to read Cather in the Rye.

Rating:
Summary: This book is very interesting.
Review: It is very unique, unlike any other book I have read. I thought the plot was a little weak but for those who like great American literature would adore this novel.
