Summary: One of the Best
Review: This book is one of the greatest books of all time. I first read it when I was in highschool and thought it was great. It has been three years since then I still read it and enjoy it. It is one of those books that a person can read and enjoy every time it is read.
Holden goes through a lot of crazy situations and a lot of different feelings after he leaves his high school. It is one of those books that everyone can relate to. Although a lot of people never go through the things he does, everyone at one point in their life has the feelings he has. The feelings of being a loner and an outcast.
This is a book that everyone should read at least once in their life. A true literary classic. Salinger is a genius

Summary: Great for teenager in junior level English
Review: This book is one of the greatest books that I have read being here at my high school. It is better then reading a book about a minority. It gives excellent insights on a teenage boys life and hardships. I recommend this book highly for anyone about the age of 16.

Summary: Everything is a phony
Review: This book is one of the most enjoyable books that I have ever read. It is about a seventeen-year-old boy named Holden Caufield that is expelled from Pencey Prep. He doesn't want to tell his parents that he was kicked out of school and goes to New York City to spend a couple of days. Here he has a lot of adventures. Holden is a boy that thinks that everything is phony, he seems to hate everything, sometimes gets depressed, and is a terrible compulsive lyer. This book is mostly for teenagers, and talks about a lot of real issues that many people face in the world; it is also very easy to read.
Rating:
Summary: A thoughful book
Review: This book is one of the most entertaining books I ever read. It is a book that make teenagers to to think about their own lives and the decisions they are making. I think it is a wonderful book to read when you are in high school becuase Holden, the main character in the novel, is a teenager who lives the same experciences most of us are living.

Summary: absolutely amazing!
Review: This book is perfect if you're a screwed up 14 year old guy who was born to stand out. It's actually perfect for anyone who's ever felt frustrated. Holden Caulfield is one of my role models. This book is addicting. I'm reading it for the second time. I read more advanced books then most people my age, some people (A lot of people) in my school still read those Fear Street books by R.L. Stine..That isn't even close to perfection.
This book starts out with a troubled, angry 17 year old boy named Holden Caulfield, who is writing some sort of an autobiography, but it's not a whole autobiography like he says on the first page. He just got kicked out of Pencey, a prep school in Pennsylvania.
He goes back to his home in New York, and has quite an adventure.
THis is one of the best books that will ever be written. Everyone should read it, because everyone can relate to it. I relate to Holden so much, I've started talking like him now too, that's how this book is. It's influencial.
READ IT!

Summary: AN ABSOLUTE READ!
Review: This book is quite good and i simply loved it. But a few of my friends downright hated it.
This is what the book actually does to you, you either hate it or love it!!!!
But you have to read it to find that out.Right?
SO go ahead and judge this book for yourself.

Summary: very accurate book.
Review: This book is really rather good. I like the straightforward way that Holden tells the story; to me at least, it wasn't hugely emotional or descriptive, he just sets these observations down (some of which are very funny.) His excuse for not sleeping with the hooker was that he didn't think he could "ever do it with somebody who sits in a movie all day long." And fair enough. I think he really loved Jane, too. If you read Ghost World (it's not long at all) Enid says the same sort of thing about not wanting to sell goofy gus to a guy with a trendy hairdo. These are honestly, -at least in my experience- the kind of things you think when you're younger. It's not so much being chicken, but I think it's following your heart, and trying not to compromise (even with little things.) I'm still wondering what kind of place in the world kids like Holden and Enid would have. Holden seems to adjust his behaviour for different sorts of people, as if it's just to gauge them. He's observing them. I watch my younger cousin do this all the time at parties and it's really interesting. Holden sort of goes here and there, meets people and gets along with anyone, but he's perceptive and can see all this "phony" stuff that's going on. I don't really think he's being arrogant, because a lot of young people -the age group he mostly hung out with- want to be different. On top of that most people have to act phony for jobs. It's a part of life, sadly. I read through this in a day or two. It's easy to get into. Words like "classic" slapped across a book don't really mean a lot to me, and I even was a little wary of it because of all these great reviews, but I really enjoyed it. My favourite time in the book is when he is with Phoebe, it's very sweet. The only thing I didn't like about the book was some of the old phrases and bad language, but that is really minor.

Summary: Bad---but let me tell you why before you rate my review!
Review: This book is sadly misunderstood. Ironically, in favor of thebook. Many people are often misled, thinking that this book has adeeper meaning, some even feel it's symbolic or dissects the anatomyof a teenage mind. The truth is, this book has none of that, it's a simple book. That in some cases a book's simplicity can be the beauty of a story, such as the novel Of Mice and Men, but not in this case. I'm saying that everyone doesn't understand this book! People find that they can relate to this book. It's the bible for all adolescents and teens. It preaches thoughts of every struggling, unhappy kid, yearning for attention and to grow up ASAP! To be honest, this book is an autobiography about not the author himself J.D. Salinger, (who grew up, moved into the sticks, became a recluse and married many times to children as young as 16). If this is what a normal person is, than call me weird, but I just can't relate. I know it's not fair to judge a book by its author, but I also think that the book was delivered with the elegance of a four year old child. Hearing the F*#@ word every once and a while was a relief. Over all, this is a selfishly written book, that is 70 min out of my life, that I don't think I can ever recover, if you want to read a REAL book that studies human nature, society, and other wide and racy topics, I strongly suggest the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey.
