Catcher in the Rye

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful and Funny
Review: This book might not be accurate about all teenage boys of that era, considering that few would of actually resorted to hiring a prostitute, for example. But, despite a few small seeming unrealistic elements, the book was wondering. Holden Caulfield's smart mouthed, slick personality seemed to grow on me and I couldn't put the book down because I kept wanting to learn more about him and his insane adventures. Also, the book is funny. For example, it's hilarious hearing Holden complain about his roomates not clipping their toenails over the toilet bowl. It was a great read and I read it on my own time too, not linked to school. That really shows that it must have been a really good book, which it was.

Summary: A little Holden in all
Review: This book opened my eyes to the world. After reading this, one never lookas at one's self or at the world the same. Every one sees a little of Holden in them self, and if you don't, then you are lying to your self. This book WILL make you think and see the world difrently. You must read this book in your lifetime.

Summary: A CLASSIC!
Review: This book perfectly describes the angst and turmoil projected among much of my age group. Holden reminds me of an average teen kid that is found in every highschool in every city, the loser who never gets the girl, the kid who thinks for himself. He's the perfect antihero, someone with whom youths can identify with. I'd give it twenty stars if I could! Don't pass this up!

Summary: A milestone in American 20th century literature
Review: This book reads itself. It's funny, touching, realistic and well-written. Coming from France, I only read it recently but I really liked it. A American classic!

Rating:
Summary: WOW
Review: This book really captures teen troubles and is truly a classic

Rating:
Summary: Very poignant for teenage readers
Review: This book really mirrored how I, and many of my peers in my class thought. We aren't the "bad kids" like supposedly Holden is, this is an honors class. This book has a strong moral background to it for those who are willing to think a little deeper.

Summary: One of the greatest of all time.
Review: This book really spoke to me. I really felt like I was Holden Caulfield. He was a real person. All the stuff about fake people is so true. I felt like I was sitting there having a conversation with him. It made me want to runaway. I loved it!!!

Summary: Rock on!
Review: This book rocks! I read it when I was 16 - the same age as Holden - and I totally related to it. I have never laughed so hard in my life. It is one of my favorite novels, and I can read it over and over again without ever getting sick of it. It is just the coolest.

Summary: I almost forgot what it was like...
Review: This book serves as cold bucket of water dumped over the head of every parent who has forgotten what is was like to be sixteen. I hope my son is not on the same wave length as young Caulfield but this book reminded me that he might just well be.

Summary: Defining book of my youth
Review: This book sets the standard that all smart mouthed children are expected to live up to. I've read it three times now and it's funny, entertaining and shocking all at the same time. If Holden were a real person, I think we would be very best friends :)
