Summary: A very good book to read but dull to read
Review: This is not a good moving book. It just talk about Holden life. This book is easy to read. Very disapointing ending. The ending is about Holden is happy again with Pheobe. Boring. It's a funny book. I gave this book only 3 stars because I just only like the bad languages. I only reccomended this book to a person that wants to hear about someone's life.

Summary: This book needs a Warning Label
Review: This is not your ordinary book. It is both good and bad. It is written very well, very realistic, and is a book I might've enjoyed had I chosen to read it myself. The point is, there is no physical plot. Holden Caulfield is a 16 year old teenager, as am I, and the reason I think those who give this book a horrible review do so because it strikes to close to the mark. No, I'm not an alcoholic, and I don't even swear, but it still strikes true on the depression level. If you want a good book with a plot, this book is not for you. Forget that, if you just want a good book this is not for you. This book is for you only if you have forgotten what it is like to be a teenager and think the world's against you, scratch that /know/ it is against you. This book is not for those that think every book needs a plot, of which I am one. I really identified with Holden, too much in fact. If you do not fully understand what depression /is/, not just the definition, but what i! t truly /is/, read this book. Read it anyway. But don't expect this book to come out allright in the end or anything, because it won't. It's a slice of the life of someone I personally wouldn't want to meet. I'm sure if you've read it you'll argue that he has some good, but you're just saying that to argue. Almost every review of the 267 I've read is polarized between Good or Bad. This book is a dark gray ppl, don't be prejudiced! I can see both ways right now, and I choose the side that says this book shouldn't be read without knowing about it beforehand. That is why this book needs a Warning Label, to let you know what you're getting into. END

Summary: Magnificent!
Review: This is one of the best books I have EVER read, and I am a very selective reader. JD Salinger presents the cynical aspect of human nature, as well as society's alienating tendencies and individuals' reactions to these tendencies (compliance, "phonieness", etc). This book is also very entertaining. I definitely recomend this classic to everyone!

Summary: Wonderful!!!!!
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. I loved the main character's rebellion against the things most people think are normal. His likes and dislikes remind of so many people I know. This book is awesomely real.

Summary: One of my favorite books of all time!!
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is only banned because of the uttter truth it tells of the life of an adolescant. It carries you through love and laughter with Holden as well as all of his sadness, and the problems he must face. It makes one look at the world in a completly different way, as well as the people in the world. I LOVED it.

Summary: What a good book
Review: This is one of the best books I have read. It had all the suspense, fear, and intellectualness as many other books, but this one was in a language that I use everyday. Therefore making it easier to read, but yet enjoyable.

Summary: AN INCREDIBLE MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. I read this book in english when I was 16 and am reading it again at 17 because it was so incredible. It truly touches you at an emotional level, unlike any other book. However, the thing I have found about this book is that you either get it or you don't. It takes a deep thinker and person who is willing to dive into the depths of human emotions. You cannot even begin to understand this book if you have no concept of, or have a difficult time understanding symbolism. If you cannot grasp the importance of it, it will seem like a pointless, boaring novel and you will probably never understand; its all up to you and how deeply enveloped into it you are willing to go. At face value, you will not get much out of it, and, unfortunatley, some people are not willing to go beyond that. It is absolutly worth reading because, even if you don't get it, its not that long and if you do get it, it can influence and change your life in ways you never thought a book could.

Summary: I Will Always Remember This Book
Review: This is one of the best books that I have read. I read it a short while ago, and I was mesmerized immediately. After hearing about Catcher in The Rye for many, many years, I finally went and got a copy. The Author seems to suck you into the characters' Spirit. I felt as if I knew Holden personally, as if he and I were both sharing these memories. This timeless book will always remain a favorite of mine.
