Summary: The Best Book I Have Ever Read
Review: This is the story of a young, depressed, and emotionally exhausted Holden Caulfield. Holden is sickened by most of the things he encounters in the world around him. The ironic part is that Holden condemns all the things in the world that he himself is a part. His hatred of "phoniness" is a recurring theme in the book yet he is the most "phony" character.

Summary: A Thought Provoking Read
Review: This is the story of sixteen year old Holden Caulfield, a boy flunking out of a faumous prep school. He tries to prevent people from acting beyond their ages, and to keep childhood as long as possible. Holden leaves the school on a journey to find himself. He ends up in Manhatten. This book is filled with symbolism. The language used is raw and edgy. Holden shows us that it is very important what is on the inside and not out. It is a depressing work of fiction, but teaches many lessons.

Summary: Gag me with a spoon
Review: This is the worst book I have read in a long time. It's full of complaints and Holden doing stupid things. Reading it a waste of time. It will put you in a nasty mood and make you feel like there's less to life than you originally thought. It was reccommended to me by a teacher and I was ready to slap her when I finished the book. I can't find justification for it being called a classic.

Summary: worst book
Review: This is the worst book i have read in a long time. NOTHING happens. I do not understand what is controversial about this story. It's about an ignorant boy (who says "boy" too much) and his pathetic little life. I felt like I was reading a book for a 9 year old, it's written very simplisticly, almost as if the author thought the reader would be too stupid to understand big words.I am dissapointed. I have heard about this book my entire life and when I finally read it I was surely let down. I don't get why this book is banned from some schools except for the fact that if students read it in school they'd be so bored they probably would never want to read anything ever again. I only gave it one star because there was nothing lower.

Summary: Horrid
Review: This is the worst book that I have ever read. It has no point to it. There is no point in reading it. I cannot say how utterly dissapointed I am with the tripe that is held between the covers on this ripe stinker of a trash novel. The anti-story follows the innane details of a few days in the life of an idiotic self-involved sprat of a young boy. And that's about it... it ends as if forced, and is completely anti-climactic...

Summary: Get in his shoes
Review: This is to counter all those idiots that gave the book 1 star. The rather 'simple' language with 'bad words' used here is essential to giving the book its reality since the narrator is supposed to be a 16yr old. In fact, the brilliance of the book is its ability to articulate the moment, the emotions, without the use of overly flamboyant bombastic literary jargon that is in itself a component of the 'phoniness of the adult' that Houldon despises. Anyone who reads this book and doesn't understand the angst has to be some socially-to-well-adjusted bourgeois common-minder who ignorantly refuses to believe that such emotions, and the people who have them, exist out there. Houldon is the prototypical teenager confused with the pain and angst common to many in his transitory state, and is the antihero of the teen generation.

Summary: Worth reading again and again
Review: This is truely a great book. The book tells the story of a teenager named Holden. Holden is struggling with life and is having a hard time figuring out what he wants to do and on top of that he is still very sad about the death of his younger brother Allie. In the beggining Holden gets kicked out of his school. He then goes into New York City and thats where a lot of crazy things start to happen. Holden is a great character and I highly recommend this book to anyone.
