Summary: Julie's Review of TCITR
Review: I was very impressed with the book. I thought Salinger did an excellent job of writing such a detailed three day excursion in just 214 days. Of all of the books I've had to read in my high school career, I've only completed three books, and this being one of them. The book was written in such an irregular way, and that's why I think I enjoyed it so much. Catcher wasn't grammatically put together. I would reccomend this book to people, but only if they can handle going from one scene to the next in a few short words. The only part I didn't like so much was the ending, because the novel just ends abruptly. I guess that can be a good thing too, because it leaves it up to the imagination as to what happens to Holden.

Review: The way the book starts, it grabs your attation, at least it did to mine. You get so in to the book you forget all about how much you have to reed for your english class. If you have not read this book go, go now and read it. Some of the thing the authr talks about is how teens handles their problems.so go go now and read the book. thanks for reading

Summary: Juxtapose
Review: The book "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger is an excellent comming of age novel. You see the world through the eyes of the main character, Holden Caulfield. Salinger uses swirls his unique characters into his "stream of concious" writing style. The blend of Holden's tangents and his simplistic observations of other people serve as a source of comedy and sadness.
Holden is a unique character in himself. He observes other people's "phony" actions and ridicules them for it, when at the same time Holden is not perfect by any means. I think the idea of seeing your self, and self-actuality are two of the novel's main themes. Holden is one of the most prominent protagonists in contemporary literature because he is so easily realted to. His hardships of adolescense can apply to almost every teenage in today's world. The struggle for a purpose in life is one of the biggest challenges that people face, and I think the novel shows one way that a lot of people handle it.
This novel is one of the best books in American contemporary literature because it carries so many themes and ideas about life that everyone can relate to.

Summary: Where will holdens life go from here?
Review: I liked that fact that Salinger explained holden and his travels and his life in such detail. It really made the book come alive, it seemed like you were a spectator watching holden throughout the whole book. My dislikes towards the were that holden said how he hated people who kept repeating themselves and yet he was worse, he repeated himself all the time. It really got annyoing. As far as the ending went I thought it went with the them of the book, which direction will it go nobody knows?

Summary: The third chapter on is wonderful...
Review: I had to read this book for High School some years back. The first two chapters seemed really boring and it was really hard for me to get into. But as soon as chapter 3 hit, I appreciated the true beauty of this book. It takes a little while to get used to his writing style, but it is really worth it. Once you do, you will want to read every word that Salinger writes. He seems to get so deep in to the mindset of a 16 year old boy, while keeping sophistication that any age can appriciate. This book is a clasic for a reason. It is truly wonderful.

Summary: An OK Story
Review: Potty-mouthed Holden Caulfield is the narrator of this story. He makes it his goal to detect the frauds in life. This book chronicles his adventures with nuns, roomates, prostitutes, and people of all sorts after he leaves Pencey Prep, a school he claims is full of phonies.
I thought it did not seem to have much of a point, though it poignantly explored the relationships Holden had with some of the other characters, especially his sister, Phoebe...

Summary: Catcher in the Rye
Review: I thought that Catcher in the Rye was an excellent book. It dealt with a lot of teen issues, and used several events anyone could relate to. It was well written and kept my attention. I enjoyed the idea that he was telling a story of the past. I also liked how the title of the book related to one of his main goals. Overall this was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: The Best Book Ever Written... for adolescent men
Review: If you're an adolescent male (or not far removed), this book is a must read. I suspect that many young men feel they're the only ones who see the world the way they do - and to them I say, "Meet Holden." Many refer to Holden Caulfield as "the hero" of this story, but this is misleading. He doesn't save people for their sake, he doesn't right injustices, and he doesn't leap tall buildings in a single bound. Holden is a hero because he's an icon - the first real representation of an angst ridden teen on his own, personal mission. His rants, ravings, inner monologues and interactions with others should sound familiar to young men. This is not to say that old men or any women wouldn't enjoy this book. To them this book may give the most accurate account of a young man's inner workings, as The Catcher in the Rye is as much a character study as a story. However, this book presents a character that may come off as crass, ignorant, or pitiful to those who are looking for a different kind of hero.

Summary: Catcher in the Wry
Review: Cynicism, ennui and negativity... it must be a guy thing. Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from boarding school and is rambling home. On the way he examines life from a purposeless, directionless man-child perspective that is totally lost on me. My husband, however, tells me that "Catcher in the Rye" is a true representation of the male internal life in late-adolescence. Too bad they make both genders read it in school. Seems like a no-brainer that the grrrls won't understand. Well, I suppose it's good training for the rest of life...
