Summary: A different style of writting I must say
Review: It was clear to me that I wasn't going to get attached to the plot ot the book about half way through with reading it. It isn't a book you would read for a suspense and a awesome ending either. It is more of the narration by the main character in the book named Holden that really draws you to this novel written by J.D. Salinger. The Catcher in the Rye was a book that i enjoyed becuase of this style of writting. I often found myself laughing out loud because of the different things Holden would be saying out loud of thinking in his head and sharing with the reader. It made very good attempts to show the fustration of Holden and did a great job of keeping it real. By the middle of the book you sort of knew exacltly what to expect from Holden but you still never kne what he would say. Lets just say he rarely surprised you through his actions or what he told the readers. Although few of us go to the extreme in some cases as he does but it is sometimes easy to relate to his fustraion with the simplest things. Don't get this book if you are into a great suspense but if you really enjoy reading new styles of writting and different kinds of books "The Catcher in the Rye" is one that you will definitly enjoy.

Summary: The catcher doesn't catch
Review: It was not easy to read this book. Although the beginning was not bad at all because I like this miserable guy but after meanwhile Holden starts boring me. What a stupid "boy"! He doesn't have any interests, the only thing what he can do is smoking. He told us what's happened in a few days over almost 200 pages and actually there is nothing extraordinary to mention except the blame with the prostitute (Sunny) and Maurice.
Not everything was bad otherwise I didn't read this book till the end. Holden 's character is something where some youth people can identify themselves with: his critical attitude against the society "for God's sake, everything drives me crazy!" he has no friends, no interests, feel some loneliness, a big smoker and observed by sex. But we discover in this adolescent a sensitive boy who loves his brothers and especially his little sister. His feeling give him sympathy otherwise this pupil was a big loser; somebody who doesn't matter if he is death or not. After this alternative guy ran out at Pencey he goes to a hotel because he is afraid of his parents. At the end Holden decided to go back to his sister and his parents but we don't even know the reaction of them and his future is also unknown. There are so many questions unanswered. The book would have got a special dimension if we had known it. But no for God's sake!
The story is a typical American tale. It 's too foolish that a sixteen-aged junior runs away from school and lives in a hotel where he appointed a prostitute. So the language does: there is almost no sentence without damned, bastards, ... but I like it and it reads more fluently. So when you have a lot of time read this boorish book otherwise: Don't waste your time with it!

Summary: The Catcher in the Rye
Review: It wasn't the best book I ever read but, it was readable and though after a while when I decided to read in the book for a whole day it wasn't even boring anymore. It's lot easier to read the book in 2 days, otherwise it's hard to remember what the first capital is about ( if you read the book in 10 days or something). If you asked what the story was about, you can simply answer:"A guy leaves school and don't want to go home. He hang around and met new people and old friends. So the plot wasn't that good. It was a little bit simple. It were just the adventures of Holden spread over only 4 days. The language was a little bit strange for me. If you read such a strange word like 'sonuvabitch' and 'willya' you know what he means but you sometimes struggle with it.It didn't bothered me. You got used to it. There are a lot of persons in the book who hat only a small role. Sometimes Holden ( the main character ) mentioned them and then you have to think who was that girl, boy? But some persons were repeated by Holden, so that it became easier to understand, of who he was talking about. I liked the main character. I don't actually know why. Probably I liked just his attitude to the society. I must confess that it wasn't a boring book, though I had to read it for school so it was obligated litterature. The other books in school or a lot more boring.

Summary: IT'S ONE MY FAVORITE BOOKS!
Review: It's a great book. Holden was this depressed guy with cynical thoughts on his head. It touched me. I couldn't put it down. It's easy to understand and you won't get bored of it. The only problem I see with this book is it's too short. I would've read it if it was the longest book ever written.

Summary: The life of a teenager from his point of view
Review: It's a really good book.It's especially good for teens because the character is a teenager and he speaks like teens do.So it's easier and more interesting for teens because they can get closer to the character and really understand him; some of his problems are common to sixteen-years-olds teen. However I was very disappointed with the ending.

Summary: A Beacon of Hope for the Disenchanted
Review: It's a story about a young man who feels out of place in the world. I believe it is the book Salinger wished he could have read when he was Holden's age. It's a story of an angry young man, so young he doesn't know how angry he is. He burns bridge after bridge in his search for meaning. It's the bender I always meant to go on, but now don't need to. Salinger imparts to the reader the wisdom Holden miraculously finds. If you seek this wisdom, this book is for you. If you ever had a doubt about the world and its limitless hypocrisy, this book is for you. Otherwise try "Jurrasic Park."

Summary: one thing: wish this book wasn't so mainstream.
Review: it's an amazing book, really good. But one thing: I kind of wish it wasn't so mainstream, and popular, and all that stuff. I mean, it's about Holden, who pretty much likes nothing he sees, and he's an outsider, and he doesn't fit in, all that stuff. And everbody likes this book? Although maybe there's something there that everyone can identify with. Whatever. But I reckon that half the people who read it are phony as hell, anyway.

Summary: Real Nice
Review: It's an easy book to read, but if u understand and analyze it carefully, Salinger had done a great job. This book is the kind of books that one could read over and over again... it's worth it.
