Catcher in the Rye

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books I ever read.
Review: I really enjoyed this novel because it is one of the best novels that I read in Nazareth that I can relate to. The way Holden described his life made me think about my own. I could relate with his how he thinks about his friends, family, and others. Most peole couln't see that he cared but I felt bad for him at some points. I definatly would recommend this novel to others.

Summary: An excellent book
Review: I really like this book. A lot of people can relate to Holden and how he feels about life. It might take a while to get into it but once you do you'll love it. I would consider it one of the greatest novels of all time.

Summary: I really enjoyed it.....
Review: I really liked the book and how Holden's problems could relate to problems that teenagers today have. Some of the things that Holden does I wouldn't agree with like all the swearing and the drinking. Running away to New York is one of the things that Holden did when he got kicked out of school- even though I don't agree with what he did most teenagers want to or try to run away from their problems.

Summary: Confusing but interesting story
Review: I really liked The Catcher in the Rye. It was a very confusing book, but it was still really good. The end was not my favorite, but I do think that it suited the book as a whole. I really liked Holden and I liked listening to him. He was a very memorable character, even though he did whine a lot in the beginning. I really changed my opinion of him when I saw his affection for his siblings. Even though he didn't get along with his parents, he did genuinely care for his sister, Phoebe, and his late brother, Allie. I found that to be a very admirable trait in such a disturbed guy. In a way, I kind of felt sorry for Holden in the respect that he didn't want to get close to anybody or trust anybody else. I really really liked this book and think that it was very well-written, especially becuase it was confusing. I think that it was just confusing because it was a book told completely from the perspective of stream-of-consciousness. I would definitely recommend this book to other people who like to read different books!

Summary: Good book
Review: I really liked this book because I could relate to it. Many of the things that Holden had to deal with I could understand where he was coming from. Although it was only a span of three days it was a very interesting book to read.

Summary: This is such a great piece of modern literature.
Review: I really liked this book because it just hit home with me. Most people can relate with Holden and what he is going through. I really like it when you can relate with the characters in books, that alone makes it worth reading. Overall, it is a great story and i really enjoyed it. Remember, don't tell anyone anything, or else you will just start to miss everything.

Summary: This is a marvelous book
Review: I really liked this book. I can't count how many times I've read it. I'm 15,and I'm a girl. Alot of the reviews on here keep talking about how this is a great book for guys and how every guy should read it. I guess I'd just like to add that girls should read it too. It's very intresting, and really funny too. It's the kind of book that you can read over and over and never get sick of. All you people who come on here and complain about how bad this book is are really bugging me. One person said that Holden was the biggest whinner they had ever heard of. Geez, listen to yourself.

Summary: It was interesting and easy to understand.
Review: I really liked this book. The books we usually read in school are not as easy to indentify with or fun to read. I found the ending quite fustrating because there is really no closure. However I feel that every teenager should have a chance to read this wonderful book.

Summary: My favourite book
Review: I really love this book and have read it many times. I bought the book after hearing it analysed in the movie "Six Degrees of Seperation". You can get so much more out of this book after hearing it discussed in such depth. The problem with people that think this book is over-rated is that they have expected to much of it and think it is going to be really deep, complicated, and full of metaphorical language. In truth it is the books simplicity, straight-fowardness and the characters immaturity and honesty that make this book so good to read. It is left up to the reader to either take it as simply a boys story or to look further into the meaning to find many interesting (sometimes disturbing) insights into the world and the adolescent mind. I LOVE THIS BOOK! Please email me with any thoughts you have as I love to know other people's thoughts on this book. My recommendation to people who have read and enjoyed this book is to read my next favourite which is similar to 'Catcher in the Rye' - 'The Bell Jar' which is the only novel written by poet Sylvia Plath (her poetry is excellent as well).
