i agree, it's very deep. don't spoil it though. but the boy is very passionate to its surroundings, correct?

I'm gonna go against the gradient here and say that it was one of the worst books I've read... but don't let my opinion ruin it for you.
To each his own, I always say.

Holden rocks.
One of my favorite books of all time. I read it in middle school and was able to relate to his character. |

I read it over the summer for my English class. At first I didn't like it, but as I read further and completed it, I appreciated what a good book it was. I can relate to Holden a lot too.

omg I LOVE THAT BOOK!! sometimes i feel like Holden....and i love this quote:
"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around-nobody big, I mean-except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff-I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy" |

Hehe, my older sister said it was hell of boring. In my old school, we are required to read that book in the higher level
 but hell, I'm not in that school anymore, which is dissapointing because I so miss that school

Yeah I know this old, but I love this book. It's one of my favorites. Holden's character is a type you don't see much of. Actually because of that, it caused a lot of controversy when it was released, which is also why it's referenced in many tv shows.

I read "Catcher in the rye" a while ago (7th grade for english class). Holden just seemed way too whiny for me, and the entire plot was basically him talking and misunderstanding what went on around him. Holden was just wandering around, doing nothing and lost.
It was well-written, but I just didn't like the overall "feel" of it. |

I thought it was pretty good. I mean, it was very short. I read it in a couple of hours spread apart in a couple of days. I think it's like a message in life, haha.

our class is reading it right now. im personally on ch 20. ive gotta say that this book is going to be one of the best and confusing-ist books youll ever read.
and its weird, high school books are rarely something i enjoy. |

I thought
1.) That guy doesn't make sense. Especially when he tries to describe what he doesn't like about the person. 2.) The whole "get a bang out of it" is ridiculous 3.) Holden Caulfied is annoying 4.) This book is another reason why emo kids hate society |
