Summary: Eye-catching book
Review: The Catcher in the Rye in an awesome book about a young man, around seventeen, called Holden Caulfield. Holden has just received the 'axe' from his school Pency Prep. Without his parents yet knowing what has happened to him, Holden leaves to New York mainly wanting to know what happens to the ducks in the lagoon in South Central Park and to meet his sister Phoebe and a couple of his friends. Later on, Holden faces many sudden obstacles and while he's facing his current New York experience he shares with us stories which happened with him in the past. This is a very exciting story with many life morals. It taught me to think of what I really want. I advice all young readers (above fifteen) to read this book so that they can learn something out of Holden's personality.

Summary: Has all the style it did 50 years ago!
Review: The Catcher in the Rye in such an American work of art. It contains situations all of us in this world will, or already have gone through. Mr. Salinger wrote this book with so much style, I read it non-stop for two days!! The real-life plot contains funny scenes, scenes that make you think, and some happy scenes. Like I always say,"There's nothin' like a happy ending!"

Summary: Catcher Review
Review: The Catcher in the Rye in written by J.D Salinger. It is about Holden, an 16 years old boy, who talks in a very sarcastic way about his childhood, his growing up, his school life and his sexlife which doesen't exist. The book is written in talking speech, the narrator uses simple language, so it's easy to understand. The narrator exagerates often to make the "problems" of the adolescents understandable. First the story is very depressing, because you only see Holden's problems and there seems to be no way out of this darkness..but wait until the end..
I like the book and I dislike it: I felt depressed when I started reading it and bored, but then I began to think about all these problems and so on. It had a positive effect towards my life, because I started thinking about my way to live and now I'm persuaded that you can do something good with your life, if you really want to...

Summary: READ IT - AGAIN AND AGAIN - YOU'LL BE AMAZED!
Review: THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is a book everyone should read a few times, at different stages in their lives, so they can come to appreciate the subtlety of Salinger's creation--Holden--and to gain some comfort in knowing that, sooner or later, you can find your way out of that terribly lonely place. A classic, to be sure, which, like all great books, rewards you anew at each reading. Hopefully you didn't have the book ruined for you by your overeager English teacher. At any rate, go find copy today and read it again. Also recommended: THE LOSERS' CLUB by Richard Perez

Summary: sarcastics of society.
Review: the catcher in the rye is a book like none other. every time i read it (and thats quite often, i should add..) i find something new. something new to think about. or laugh at. or relate to. holden seems to be a creation of every aspect of the person that we all hold within ourselves. the person who we maybe haven't discovered yet. and if we have, are running with it. i cannot praise this book enough. anyone who has never read it is at an absolute loss.

Summary: Great selection, a must read for all!
Review: The Catcher in the Rye is a book of great stature. Anyone who has read this novel I'm sure would agree. The adventures, sometimes referred to as struggles, of Holden Caulfield are extremely intriguing. J. D. Salinger did a wonderful job of entering the teen mind, perhaps his own, and capturing the thoughts of Holden and his occasionally immature actions.A morally educating novel with incredible preciseness. Intelligently written with high esteem, an important part of anyone's home library.

Summary: Great literature
Review: The Catcher in the Rye is a book that never ceases to amaze me. J.D. Salinger has created a book that captures the true essence of being a teenager that can even apply to today. The text is just absolutely gripping too, from Holden's views on people and life to his adventures that weekend. It is truly a shame that so many schools have banned this book. I can understand that the language is a little edgy at times but those who don't read this book will be missing out on the great writing of Salinger and how he builds his characters and leaves us with someone (Holden) that we will never forget. To some degree, I think we can all relate to Holden and his views on life and people. Maybe not to the full extent, but I'm sure a number of Salinger's readers are left with the feeling of understanding. And Holden's words are filled with plain and simple wisdom. I highly recommend that you read this book. And, oh yeah, be sure to buy a highlighter too because you'll find yourself highlighting all of the great passages.

Summary: A classic; just as important today as when it first appeared
Review: The Catcher in the Rye is a classic novel whose significance should not be overlooked in this day and age of Prozac Nations, Girl Interrupted, and general teenage depression and burnout. The book is deceptively simple in the tale it has to tell, but effectively still underscores a powerful yearning to return to a simpler time in his life. Teenagers feeling overburdened with their lives will gain a lot from reading this book, as will the parents who love them.
