J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye Review

Overall Rating

Different.

Colloquilisms aplenty.

This is a good read. Some might be put off by the style it is written in (50's teenage slang), but if you persevere, you build a very close bond to the protagonist and his rather disturbed outlook on life. It was a refreshing book and left me wanting more (for me, a sign of a good book). Rather bleak in outlook, this book makes several valid points on life, society and the angst most teenagers experience. Worth a read.

My rating: 80%
