Catcher in the Rye

Rating: It was amazing!


The fictional hero of Salinger's Catcher in the Rye is Holden Caulfield, a young man that most teenagers can relate to. He comes from a wealthy family who can afford to send him to expensive private schools, yet Holden seems completely perplexed by and stuck on life's hang ups. Throughout the story we are to understand workings of Caulfield's complete personality and finally he comes to a magnificent resolution. This book carries a seemingly pessimistic tone but is enjoyed by most.
