Summary: The Catcher in the Rye
Review: I thought that this was one of the best books I ever read. It was a summer assignment and I was a little skeptical at first, but I got right into it. Someone once told me that it was one of the most appalling books they ever read because it just talked about how this boy hated everything. I thought that that was what made the book great. It told the truth and people hate hearing the truth becasue they find out that everything is not happy go lucky. Somethings are depressing and sad and J.D Salinger was one of the first people to admit that and I think he did a great job in doing so.

Summary: "Catcher in the Rye"
Review: I thought the book Cather in the Rye was all right, that's why I give it a 5. It wasn't what I expected it to be since it was on the book banned list. Holden kept on trailing off or explaining something for two pages. He used some words or phrases way to much like "phony" and "I'm crazy, I really am." He used cuss words a lot like he had never heard them before. And everything ticked him off. The only thing I really like about the book was that I read it pretty fast. I would recommend this book to you if you liked my review.

Summary: Wanna know who is phony? Holden. He realy is.. REally is
Review: I thought the book was going to be a good read. WEll the book was ok at the begining. As it got further, no plot developed. Reading what Holden was saying got real frustrating because he kepts saying the same things over and over. Like the words. PHONY.. and he used the word "REALLY" 1,000,000 times too many. "I told you I am crazy. I really am." that line is in the book about 500 times. And aren't authors suppose to stay on the subject? I found my self skipping over pages at a time, while holden tried to explain something in the past.. Very boring. I wouldn't recomend reading this garbage. Yea its a classic but who the hell cares it SUCKED! I will take your comments via e-mail @ [e-mail]

Summary: Random Thoughts on Salinger
Review: I thought the book was good, however it lacked a certain binding and it seemed like random thoughts jumbled together. The book captures a different time period. Holden was a smart, lazy, unfocused teenager. He was paying for it in a way that kids today don't. With grade inflation and lower standards in academics a Holden today would be managing alot better. I think Holden expressed himself in a weird interesting sort of way. His dialogue was a touch bit different and the way he expressed his emotions was different from most books I've read. The whole book aims towards the future but we never actually get there with Holden. We are left hanging without a neat Hollywood ending. I wanted to know more when it was over. Everyone is trying to change Holden for the better. We never know if they succeed.

Summary: The Catcher in the Rye
Review: I thought the book was kind of dumb. It seemed to not really have a point, but drag on anyways. It might have been better if it was shorter because then it wouldn't be as drawn out. I also thought it was confusing.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I thought the book was very funny and interesting for the most part. The only part I didn't enjoy was the ending. I found it stupid and it didn't bring such a good book to a proper closing. I did enjoy how he created some vivid images of the things and people he talked about! All around funny and well-written book!

Summary: The Catcher and the Rye
Review: I thought the book was very good because it was so realistic that I was apalled at how people can live that way so depressed and frustrated. Holden was so depressed I felt bad for him. But I was surprised when he went to another school at the end of the book. The main thing that made me give this book a three was how he never had anything good say about anybody or anyhting. But I did enjoy the book and I would recommed it.

Summary: Eral's review
Review: I thought the book was vey interesting. I really thought that the auther did a very good job of telling in great detales about every person he sees, but at the some time at some point he sounded very gay when he would keep talking about how good some of the guys looked in the book and he just kept going and going about it for a page or two. But all together the book was very good because the way he kept the book in teresting with putting different emotions through out the book, he would talk in a way that he would be sad and then he would put in the mad parts in there even sad parts and i really loves the way he ended the book that was probably the greatest ending with out really ending the book.

Summary: Brilliant Writing!
Review: I thought the Catcher In The Rye was a very interesting book, it made me feel my life is not as complicated as in the book. Salinger is a very well- known author and this book really does show us what the meaning of life is. It is the type of book that each time you read it, you find more meaning to it
