Book Review of The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


This was one of my favorite reads as a teenager and one of my favorite books of all time. It really captures the voice of those long days of cool bordom being a somewhat spoiled and bored yuppie ivy league college attendee. Being at that age, having all the time in the world and having to find things to do with your days...pranks that you would play on people...and the sensation of growing older...

Reminds me somewhat of F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing if you like that style.
