A review by gardenia
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

adventurous emotional funny sad

5.0

I’m glad I read it. the reading experience turned out to be even more special because I didn’t have any expectations nor I knew anything about it, not even the genre or the synopsis, so everything was brand new and magical to me, like when you’re a little child and even your own shadow astonishes you. the writing is definitely something that will stick to me for a while: it’s just so unique. 

besides, the fact that the main character doesn’t exist is hard to swallow because he seemed absurdly real. I enjoyed going through the streets of ny city with him while listening to his thoughts and experiences.

this book concerns a piece of literature I’m relieved to have encountered.
