Summary: Amazing
Review: I really recommend this book, this book is like no other. It basically about a troubled teenager who is in search for his role in life. I think a lot of people would like it because you are really able to relate to the character because many of us have gone trough some of the situations Holden goes through in the book. I will bet that even if you do not like it, you will find it quite different from other books. So if you are interested in reading a good and different book, read the Catcher and the Rye, I liked it a lot, so have many others.

Summary: If you haven't read this book you will never understand life
Review: I really, really love this book. I'd say it's one of the best books I've ever read, actually, and having read at least three books a week since I learned to read at the age of six, that tells me a lot. Your mileage may vary. Holden is cynical, yet rather optimistic in a way. Depressing, maybe, but I think the reason people think it's depressing is because you recognize a lot of your own feelings and thoughts - most of them feelings and thoughts you don't really want to recognize. The language in the book might be offensive to some people, personally I've never cared much about cuss words, etc - they're just a part of the general "shape" or style of the book, and as long as they don't interfere with the rest of the book, I don't mind. Anyway, I'm ranting and I'm not supposed to. What I meant to say was: If you haven't read this book, go read it. If you don't own it, borrow, or better, buy it (you're going to want to read it a couple of more times, and people tend to want the things you borrowed from them back). You will regret it if you don't.

Summary: This book was good.
Review: I realy liked this book. I liked how it was written, because Holeden tells us exactly what he wants to say, and we can feel he feels. I think this book is not appropriate for middle school student. Tenth graders can read this book to compare Holden's life with their own. This book was the best book that I read at school.

Summary: Classic, but fading a little
Review: I received this book for Father's Day along with "The Triumph and the Glory", and enjoyed reading Salinger's great novel once again. I still found it brilliant at times, although it still seemed to drift somewhat without any direction I could decipher. But the good sections were VERY GOOD, so Catcher in the Rye still gets four stars from me. "The Triumph and the Glory" was great, the young pilot reminded me of Holden Caulfield.

Summary: Classic Literature
Review: I recently made a vow to reread some books I had skimmed getting through my high school English classes. I knew I had to read Catcher in the Rye, what a great work that was well worth the time it took to finish the book. This book read like a building top of a roller coaster, you never knew what was going to come after the top of the coaster, then you plunged down and twisted around inside Holden's brain and all around his journey towards New York City and his frivilous spending and wild times and adventures. I relate a lot to Holden as I am someone who often has learned to hard way in life. Holden seems to refuse to do things the way he is supposed to, and I love the character for that. You really should not go through life and not read this book.

Summary: Thanks Mr. Salinger
Review: I recently picked up this book from an old little hole-in-the-wall bookstore not too far from home. After reading it, I thought I had found my best friend in Holden Caufield, the main character.
Basically, the novel is a short autobiography of what happens in an apporxamatly three day peroid after Holden is kicked out of school and before he moves to California. That is what happens in the novel, by the theme is, in my mind, about the abstract nature of humans and of society in general. You really have to read to understand why I say that.
Most people who do not like the book base their complaints on two aspects: 1) The swearing. 2) The dialogue. Now to address those points.
1) So he swears, big deal. The cursing is maybe as frequent as what you would hear on an episode of "The Simpsons."
2) The dialogue, in the minds of some, is terrible. When you hear someone say that the speech in the story is mostly "He really did," "It really was," "I really did" etc they are telling the truth. The simple truth is that Holden does not have a really dynamic or artistic voice, but then again he is a 17 year old who gets kicked out of just about every school he attends. How do you expect him to talk? I think Salinger did a great job of capturing the voice of his very unique character. All in all I think it is a great book, and worth the time to read.
