If you're reading this review, you're probably a STUDENT looking for a hint of insight into "The Catcher in the Rye" for school.

You've found it -- I (15 yrs. old @ the time of this writing) enjoyed "CATCHER" on my own, and, interested, bought this essay collection. I wasn't bored by it, either, so you're most likely to have an easy time getting through this.

The title of the book is pretty self-explanatory, so I'll give you some of the HIGHLIGHTS (best essays):

"Catcher" is Weak and Fails to Explore its Themes; Parts of J.D. Salinger's life that can be found in "Catcher"; Holden's Language [this essay is pretty much a PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE on Holden]; and: An ATTACK on "Catcher in the Rye."

So the book is pretty goddam good and all, I mean it really is. I got a real bang out of it and all. I nearly broke my goddam neck, if you want to know the truth.
