A review by ury949
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
1.0
Wow. Now I understand why I didn't remember a single thing about this book from reading it back in high school. It's basically a long-winded rant by a teenage boy who seems to have a grudge against practically everything and everyone. He spends so much time complaining about how stupid and lame everything is that he hardly notices what's going on in the world. Barely anything actually happens in the story.
Was this really part of my English Lit curriculum? I'm kind of disappointed. I obviously didn't get anything out of it, but it's referenced so much and commonly used as a comparison tool, so I felt like I should re-familiarize myself with it. But I could have read the first page and that would have been enough.
To be honest, I couldn't even finish it.
