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

5.0

I got an A on a paper my senior year about this book. I don’t know how. I truly didn’t comprehend it at all. I just remember a lot of goddamns and he’s always fucking complaining. But… that’s life right? It definitely isn’t for everyone and it will not inspire anyone to commit murder unless they already have proclivities to commit murder and then it’s literally just a coincidence.

There are dark themes explored in a very short and pretty toxic kind of way I think? I don’t really remember. I just remember even in school I remember closing the book and just saying “poor thing”.
