The Catcher in the Rye
Ever since it was first published in 1951, this novel has been the coming-of-age story against which all others are judged. Read and cherished by generations, the story of Holden Caulfield is truly one of America's literary treasures. more

Good, but overrated
This book is generally considered a classic, and I can understand why. The plot elements are great, but the main character/narrator is not. Holden Caulfield is one of the least sympathetic characters in literary history. His voice is hard to read because it is so annoying. It is hard to...

The Puzzle that is Holden
A great read for any age, from 10th grade to adulthood. It really makes you remember or really helps you have a kind of camaraderie with Holden Caufield. It is a deceptive book that it only takes a glimpse of Holden's life over a few days in his life where a million memories of previous...

one of the most overrated books in the literary world
Salinger's catcher in the rye was shoved down so many of our throats as an adolescent, like so many others in that genre of so called 'classics' like Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby, etc. It took me many re-readings of these so called greats after being able to read...

A Must Read
Once again, gilding the lily, but this book should get 5 stars overall. So that is why I am rating it. I could not put this book down. The honest, no-nonsense style of writing is compelling and addicting. When I finished it, like my youth, I was melancholy that it was over.

Whats the big deal?
One the most boring books I have ever read. No plot to speak of and an incredible amount of meaningless jiberish. What made this horrible book so famous?

Holds up better than any book I've read over such a long time span
It is scary how similar I am to Holden Caulfield. Reading this book opened my eyes up to the fact that sometimes you don't know what you want to do and you just have to do something sometimes, to find out what it is you want to do. Try out a hundred things, and if they don't work out, you...

How this became a "classic" is puzzling to me
I had not read this book since I was a teen and my Son mentioned he recently read it & loved the book. I picked up a copy and figured since he generally makes good recommendations to me, it would be worth reading again. WRONG!I suppose if you like reading about someone who has some "issues" or...

Holden Caulfield channels Beaver Cleaver...
Some wines age well, others...well, let's just say that they're best drunk young. I'd place "The Catcher in the Rye," if it were a wine, in the latter category.I first read this book some thirty-odd years ago in a high school English class, and at that time I loved it. That same affection...

A Classic
THE CATCHER IN THE RYE has a simple-enough presence: Take a character and let him tell his story. That's exactly what J.D Sallinger did with his character Holden Caulfield.To break it down simply enough, Holden is sixteen-years-old. He's also stuck in a very bad situation. He's at a fancy private...
