3.0 out of 5 stars For the most part I loved this book., March 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Critical Essays on Salinger's the Catcher in the Rye (Critical Essays on American Literature) (Hardcover)
This was a very interesting book. It starts off in the same way it finishes. There's only two catches though- it has no climax and it has rather heavy language throughout. In a way the main character,Holden Caulfield, is just writing another English report about what happened to him on Christmas vacation. I enjoyed it on the most part because it gave an insight in what he was thinking more so than what he did. Like he kept thinking about his old girlfriend Jane, but she never actually enters the story. I think the point I got out of the book is people aren't real. They try to put off that they're somebody else and unless you can read their mind, you'll never know who they really are. All in all, this was definitley a book worth reading, I guess that is why it made it pretty big. That or it's because the cussing.
