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: A story people can relate to.
Review: This book is about a boy who seems to always get the short end of the stick, usually because he brings it upon himself. That is the way I am now a days, so reading about Holden kind of made me think for a while of how I can change to not be a phonie. But what's funny about the book is that Holden should have taken his own advice, because in my opinion he was the biggest phonie in the book. clever how Salinger does this by making Holden think he is so head strong. Also I can relate to this book, what Holden felt at one time I also felt that way at one point, I've been through some of the difficulties Holden has been through and this story doesn't explain it any better. Holden may have been a phonie but he still was a good kid who didn't mean any harm. It was a pleasure to read this book. END

Summary: CATCHER IN THE RYE WILL CATCH YOUR EYE
Review: THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A GOUNG BOY NAMED HOLDEN CAULFIELD AND HIS LIFE DURING HIS TEEN AGE YEARS. IT TALKS ABOUT HIS MANY ATTEMPS AT HAVING ... AND GETTING GIRLD. HLDE GOES TO A PREP SCHOOL IN PENNSYLVANIA BUT IS BEING KICKED OUT BECAUSE OF BAD GRADES. HE EVENTUALLY RUNS AWAY BEFORE HE CAN BE KICKED OUT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING HIS ROOM MATE DOES. HE END UP IN NEW YORK IN A HOLTEL. FROM THERE THINGS REALLY TAKE OFF.I THOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS GREAT. IT DOES A GREAT JOB OF SHOWING WHAT A TEEN AGE BOY GOES THROUGH AS HE IS GROWING UP. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT CURSING IN THE BOOK SO I DON'T RECAMEND IT AS A BED TIME STORY FOR KIDS. IF YOU WANT LAUGHS AND A BOOK YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT DOWN THAN PICK UP A CATCHER IN THE RYE.

Summary: The Cather in the Rye
Review: This book is about a teenager who goes through depreesion and other problems most teens face while growing up. I can also relate to this book because it reminds me that sometimes i feel the same way. I recommend this book to everyone who doesn't mind faul language and the themes such as depression, lonelyness, and phonines. I really liked this book because of the things that occur. But the ending is very bad because it leaves you with unanswered questions such as what happened to Holden (the narrator) at the end.

Summary: What a Book!
Review: This book is about so much more than baseball, it's not even funny! J.D. Salinger was a real maverick here, writing a story that most of us would never even think of imagining. I am looking forward to watching the SF Giants play the LA Dodgers tonight, but this book really opened my eyes to what it is like to see things over a much greater playing field.

Summary: Loss of Innocence
Review: This book is about the loss of childhood and innocence. It is about trying to stay a child and delay or reject adulthood. The book recognizes that adulthood presents problems that are not clean or easy and involve compromising ones values and beliefs. It's about the recognition of how the loss of childhood leads to a potentially less enjoyable life. That adulthood is not all it's cracked up to being and it mercilessly shows the hypocrasy and games that adult's play including the denial of who they actually are. It is a stunning and extremely honest book in it's portrayal of an adolescent's observations of adulthood.

Summary: What an incredible book
Review: This book is absolutely incredible. If I could, I would go on and on but I think it would be too long. It has had a major impact on American Literature and culture, and it is extremely well-written and heart-felt. It is a masterpiece of American Literature, and should be read.

Summary: This is excellent
Review: This book is amazing. If you have to read it for school, don't fret! It is soooo good. People of lots of ages will love this book (I'm 14). I didn't read it for school, I read it because I wanted to and I am sure glad I did!! It's funny and sweet and you'll love the character Holden. His views of the world and people are so true and they really make you think. Everyone needs to experience this book.

Summary: One of the all-time greatest
Review: This book is amazing. The instant you fall into it flows amazingly. It plays out like your own thoughts do. The writing is great and the story is great. 16 year old Holden is a lonely character and is one you will never forget. This book delivers some serious messages without boring you. It is an easy read. but a very very tough idea. The themes in this boo are soo extremely deep that holden can only scratch the surface for you, and if you do not like this book than you are missing the point. Many self-richous morons will disagree with this book, but it is the fact that holden is not an adult that makes his raw untouched, unfiltered point of view unique. His point of view can tell you a lot about many a things. Overall if you are going to read one book, make it this. And if you enjyed this then you might also enjoy A seperate peace.
