Summary: The truth
Review: I am so sick of everyone who thinks there are some intelligent critic that knows more about everything than everybody else. No doubt, they will look at this review, notice that I choose not to use any "big" words and deem myself not on their level.The simple fact is that this book is the 1 book that I can actually read without getting bored. The reason.....it shows the truth behind every "phony" thing in this world. Who cares about all that other critic rhetoric. The beauty in the book is that it tells the straight forward, no BS truth. Read it, enjoy it, read it again.

Summary: This is one of the worst books I have ever read...
Review: I am sorry if I offend anybody by my review of this book, but I think it was soooooo stupid! I am a pretty big reader of books and this one just made me mad because it never got anywhere and just rambled on about nothing. I could've written a better book than this and I am only 16 years old! I am mad I wasted my time reading this book and I am upset with Salingers writing of this book, he could've donw a lot better! AMEN!

Summary: Classic, an amazing masterpiece
Review: I am sure there are millions of Caulfields out there in the world. Salinger portrayed Caulfield's character so beautifully. The language, style and technique of Salinger in this book reflects the main protogonist's (Caulfield's) character and that is one of the million reasons why this book is a classic. I believe there is a Caulfield in everyone of us and this is another of million reasons why this book is so popular. One of my all-time favorites.

Summary: This mirror dosen't seem to reflect so much crisis to me...
Review: I am sure you have heard the same story...forced to read "Catcher in the Rye" for a class assignment. Well, here I am two years after reading it for the first time, and I am doing yet another report, but this time by choice. I decided to read some of other reviewer's opinions and I was automatically reminded of what an excellent piece of literature we all have at our finger tips. J.D. Salinger has presented us with a piece of what I would call a semi-relatable novel, (at minimum). I can think of nothing more intriguing than being in the head of a cynical, wry, and egocentric 16 year old boy. Which is precisely why this is my favorite book.

Summary: AWFUL!
Review: I am very open minded when it comes to literature (I even read through Mein Kampf without any objection) but I just hated this book! If it wasn't required reading, I would have stopped on the fourth page! I think Salinger could have done much better!

Summary: A Vulgar and Disgusting Book!
Review: I am very suprised at why this book is considered a classic. The only reason I can muster up is the fact that J.D. Salinger was quite before his time. I was recommended this book by my ninth grade English teacher because she knows I enjoy classics. However, I was highly disappointed by the way this book was written. Sixteen year old Holden Caulfield has just endured expulsion from a prestigious preperatory high school and does not want to tell his parents of his extreme failure so he decides to head to New York for the carefree life he has always dreamed of. The language used in this book is quite improper for my taste and there really is no plot. I must admit that the author uses impeccable detail, yet there is not sufficient character development or plot growth. I forced myself to read the whole thing because I ALWAYS finish every book I start, but it was extremely difficult to refrain from cringing at every curse - used after every three words. When I reached the end, I still did not understand why the book's title is Catcher in the Rye. I found no hidden meaning or life-altering theme, I just found a long rambling of a jaded teenager. I also find that the book supports the age old stereotype that teenagers are whining ne'er do wells. Not all teenagers think or act like the teenager depicted in this book. I now offer some final advice: Save some money and do not buy this book. It is not worthy of all the praise that it has recieved and it certainly does not live up to its "good name".

Summary: I love it, I love it
Review: I asked the school librarian if they had The Catcher in the Rye. She looked at me like I had completely lost my marbles, and said, "No, no, not here." I guess having an eighth grader ask for The Catcher in the Rye isn't something you get frequently... My mother went out and bought it for me, and from the moment I read the first sentence I loved it. Extraordinary because of the detail in which things are described, and the way Salinger really digs into what Holden is thinking... I really love that character. I don't know. I love it.

Summary: What a complainer!
Review: I began this book expecting it to be supremely deep and completely understandable. What I found was that Holden was a pain in the rear teenage boy whose mission in life was to complain about everything except his stupid red hat. I was sorely disappointed. As I got deeper into the book, the more I wanted to just beat some sense into the boy for being such a complainer. He thinks that the world should bow down to him and it just doesn't work that way. I also don't understand why this book was banned. Holden has feelings that every teenager has and complains about everything. How is that different or bothering in any way? We have to go through it everyday, why not be allowed to read about it? Read it if you want, but please tell me if you find the point that makes this book so important.
