5.0 out of 5 stars Don't wait as long as I did to read this book!, December 1, 2006
By Bunny Bunsen, PhD (Boston, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
Salinger's modern-day classic about the coming of age of an adolescent boy is nothing short of a jewel! Salinger, writing in the first person, beautifully combines and balances the egocentrism of the teenager with humor and then fuses these elements together with threads of sadness and unbelievable tenderness. The character of Holden Caulfield is most certainly a complex dichotomy of immaturity and maturity. Truly a remarkable work through the very end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why have you not read this book?, May 25, 2007
I am always encouraging people to read this book. It's one of the first novels that truly shocked me in the end. I first came to know this book in highschool, and it still sits on my shelf. I re-read it often, and it's never lost on me.
There is a reason that it's a literary masterpiece, and one of the best books ever penned!

5.0 out of 5 stars How could any literate person not give this great classic less than five stars?
Well, it may be that they are pre literate. To them, I quote Holden himself, "All morons hate it when you call them a moron." Every reader should encounter Holden's struggle. Read more
