Rating: Summary: A must read book!! Review: Catcher in the Rye is a book I read once a year just to remind myself that life is presious, and fun, and worth living.

Rating: Summary: The book that inspired me most Review: Catcher In the Rye is a book that I read more than once because I could not get over how good it was. Every time that I read the book I find something new that i did not catch the time before. You have to reach deep inside to actually understand the book. I think that it is important that everyone is required to read this book before it is too late. It is not very common to hear that some one did not like this book. It was a book that is so easy to relate too. I think everyone has a little Holden Caufield in them, I know I sure do. Catcher in the Rye is such a well known book for the impact it left on readers. The readers were not used to the truth. They banned the book and would not let students read about the way things really are. Not one person is perfect. There may be close to perfect and far from perfect, but not perfect. Holden was a messed up boy that thought he was perfect. Holden needed to find a way to preserve his perfectness. What is ironic about the story is that as perfect as Holden tried to be the more screwed up he became. I strongly recomend this book to anyone who has not yet read this book. It is such a shamej to let such a book slip by.
Rating: Summary: Read Below Review: Catcher in the Rye is a book, that if we all do not like at least, can relate to. We all make the same mistakes and complain and we all dream about the impossible. Or in Holden's case, for the teenager nowadays, do the impossible... J.D Salinger is a master of the art of writing.
Rating: Summary: A book Review: Catcher in the Rye is a book. A very good book. Read it. Or if you don't like to read books, then watch Being John Malkovich, one of the greatest movies ever. And all you people quit complaining about the bad language and get a life.
Rating: Summary: A "must read" for Teens Review: Catcher in the Rye is a fantastic book for all ages. I liked it a lot because I feel that most teenagers can relate to the main character, Holden Caulfield. The book shows his struggle to find an indentity and what choices to make in life. J.D. Salinger really really uses a great deal of literary devices in describing Holden's adventures. This book was a wonderful book in which I enjoyed reading on more than one occasion. I truly recommend it for everybody.
Rating: Summary: Great message and easy to read Review: Catcher in the Rye is a great book that is accessible to junior high level students who are ready to read something of substance. It's not a hard read and really can help the reader think. It's a great book for anyone to read because of its message but I think junior high and younger high school kids can really identify with Holden and can help them figure things out when they're trying to make sense of where they fit in and what they want to do and be.A sidenote for those interested, check out a song called "Holden Caufield" by Piebald
Rating: Summary: there is a little Holden in all of us Review: Catcher in the Rye is a great book. It is true-to-life and fun to read. Realistic characters, candid narrative, and a heart-felt character named Phoebe are just a few of the highlights. J.D. Salinger's writing is so readable, I think a 7th grader would be able to enjoy this book.
Rating: Summary: The Greatest Book Ever Written Review: Catcher in the Rye is a masterpiece from a truly briliant writer. Please read this book! The story itself is unbelivably enjoyable and even motivational. This novel helped me find myself, and it could do the same for you. You will never forget Holden Caulfield.
Rating: Summary: a book that deserves its rating Review: Catcher in the Rye is a novel that has stood the test of time. Even though it was written in the 1950's it still appeals to teenagers around the world. And when I read it, I discovered why. Catcher in the Rye is a painful, honest, funny book that is perfectly written. Don't be fooled by what people tell you, ie. that it's not a good book, that the language is unsuitable. They don't understand the novel's true meaning and value. I really, really recommend that you read this book, and I hope you get as much out of it as I did.
Rating: Summary: A well written story of a character many can relate with. Review: Catcher in the rye is a very hauting story, J.D. Salinger has written very well. I could not put the book down. I love this book.....
