Summary: quite possibly the worst book ever written
Review: This book is the most over-hyped farce of a novel. The characters are horribly one-dimensional, and there is barely a semblance of a plot. what a waste of trees.
Rating: 
Summary: Unbelievable
Review: This book is the most wonderful book I have ever read. It has everything in it that could be appealing to any such person. The adventures of Holden Caufield are entertaining and my dog's name is pow-wow

Summary: Suspensful, exciting, down-to-earth, is my description.
Review: This book is very good and exciting. When you read the first chapter you want to read the rest right away. It is also very emotional and will have you reading a mile a minute.

Summary: This book has good and bad points
Review: This book is very interesting. It shows the attitude of a teenager as well as the way one thinks. However, I found it hard to read because it skipped from one idea to another often. Overall, I saw this book as a good read for anyone who is trying to look in to the way a teenager thinks.
Rating:
Summary: Profane
Review: This book is very profane. The story is good, but if you are offended by profanity, or other crude and ludious topics, then this book is not for you. If you can read around the profanity, and not be bothered by it, then the book is good.
Rating:
Summary: One of the best books of all time!
Review: This book is vividly written. The novel follows the development of an adolescent into adulthood. I was assigned this book Freshman year of high school and I look forward to reading it again. The situations are ones that everyone who was or is a teenager can identify to. This was a great book!

Summary: This book should be on your top 10 list!
Review: This book is, in a word, awesome! I can't imagine another book nearly as real, original, or subtly humorous as Catcher in the Rye. You might compare this work along the lines of A Separate Peace, another great novel, but I find Catcher in a league of its own. Holden is a modern tragic hero in the story as he sets himself apart from the phoniness around him while trying to protect the innocence of children. The funny thing is that Holden suffers from chronic lying and a personality only his sister Phoebe and a few teachers can stand. He fits the stereotypical teenage loner type with his hatred of Pency teachers and jocks, an apathy towards schoolwork, and his need to get alchohol. This characterization is balanced by Holden's ideals, his inability to grasp the concept of change, and his sincere love of his siblings(sister Phoebe, late brother Allie, and brother D.B.). If the book doesn't make sense to you then you should read it again. It's a great book, and even if you don't understand it, you got to give it credit for its originality. Think of it as a breath of fresh air from half a century ago.

Summary: Who does it love?
Review: This book isn't for everyone. The last reviewer put it well when he mentioned that the book will probably only appeal to the younger and not-so-popular crowd. I read it then, and then I read it just recently (I'm 27 now). Many of Holden's views hit home with me when I was younger and I appreciated and enjoyed that in him. And although I still agree with some of his views, his general attitude throughout the book seems ridiculous, lazy, and childish to me now (then again, he is 16). I felt myself getting annoyed by him and wishing someone would kick his butt into gear. This doesn't make it a bad book, though. There's a lot to be said for a book that means something different to different generations and for that I give it 3 stars. It might mean something different to different generations, but it won't necessarily appeal to all of them.
