Summary: Best book ever
Review: I had heard many things about this book growing up but I never read it until at the University Of Tennessee. My english professor told how at the age of 18, he married, dropped out of school and had a miserable life. He hated English and had never read a book in his life. One day while house sitting for a friend, he saw "Catcher In The Rye" sitting on the coffee table. He read it from cover to cover and it changed his life. He went back to high school, finished college and received a PHd. When I heard this story I decided I finally had to read this book. What an awesome book it was! It relates to kids in 1952 or 2002. What a story! I have read it 3 or 4 times since then... The last time I called UT to check on the prof, I was told he died of a massive heart attack. Dr. Sekula, wherever you are, thanks for the book!

Summary: How could you not like this book?
Review: I was advised to read Catcher in the Rye after I got hooked on the Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. Its a brilliant book, and it gets better each time you read it. Ok, so it babbles sometimes, but that just lets you into Holdens character even better. I think its a fantasic book. Pros' its a great book and theres maybe some Holden in all of us. Cons' Where do the ducks go in the winter? Hmmmmmm? Anyone who could only give this book 2 stars is obviously not mature enough to appreicate such classic writing... go on, read it!

Summary: You HAAAVVVVVEEEE to buy this book!!!!!
Review: Oh my god, this book is soo great!! I'm 15 and I can really relate to Holden, the way he uses cynicism to shield away phonies, and lies to make more realistic people come closer. The only thing I didn't like about the book is that I need more!! More Holden, more little stories about how he almost necked with Jane, more views on life from a maturing boy wearing his "people killing hat". I just love this story.

Summary: WHAT A BORING STORY!!
Review: I know that everyone says that this novel is a CLASSIC, but it certainly did not live up to its standards. I felt that with it's scattered thoughts and events, that the novel clearly did not have a complete structure. It did not keep my attention and it totally bore me to DEATH!! I would not reccomend this novel to anyone, I would not want you to go through the pain and suffering!

Summary: Depression
Review: I am aware that there are a lot of readers out there that believe this to be a classic book. You would think after reading such a 'classic book', I would be forced to give a perfect review, but instead, I am going to be honest in my review, just as I always am. For starters, let me say that this book has a storyline, but no actual plot. The title of the book, "The Catcher in the Rye", would make one think that this is the story about some off-the-wall kid and his baseball story, but instead, it was about an off-the-wall kid and his depressed outlook on life. I will admit that there were parts of this book that caught my interest, but there were not many. By the time I got near the end of the book, I was glad it was so short, because I could hardly tolerate reading it anymore. The main character and narrator, Holden Caulfield, kept speaking in such simple-minded terms that got frustrating very quickly. I hate when people repeat themselves twice in one sentence, that's what I hate, when people repeat themselves twice in one sentence. I also dislike it when a narrator uses the same word over and over again in the same paragraph that you get annoyed when you see the word. In this case, that particular word was a cuss word. I am not saying cuss words in books bother me, it is just irritating to see it used so often that you actually find yourself being insulted by it. Out of this entire book, the only part of it that I think I really enjoyed was Holden's little sister, Phoebe. Perhaps if the book were about her, it would have been better (in my opinion). Overall, I almost gave this book 3 stars for being a 'classic', but then I came to my senses and decided to be fair. This book deserves 2 stars. J.D. Salinger is a nice author, but this was a boring title.

Summary: A GREAT AND EXCITING BOOK!
Review: This book is about a boy who flunks out of school and doesn't know what to do. I personally enjoyed this book. This book gives power to the reader to imagine a life of a 17 year old boy. The boy drops out of school and goes on from there. If you would want to know what the rest of the book is about, either buy the book from amazon.com or borrow it from your school or public library. But I must warn you that this book uses false language.

Summary: WONDERFUL!!
Review: As a teenager the same age as Holden is, Salinger truely knows what teens face, no matter what century we are in or how much people think being a teenager has changed. he really knows how to grab the audience and hold on to them with a tight grip until the very end.
