The book arrived quickly and of course it was in great condition. I am 67 and I can't believe I still think I am Holden.

I know this book is a classic -- that's why I wanted to read it. It's very easy to read, but I did not get much enjoyment out of it. I understand Caulden has angst, but that's all the book was about?

There is no need to review the literacy work, I guess, but I was delighted of the book format itself.
While ordering I haven't noticed that it is not a regular format and really like it. It is small, really suits for carrying around and is very good for personal gift, which was the purpose of purchase.
I like also hard covers and recycled-like paper.

This was the selection for my book club, and it was chosen since it is considered a classic. I'm sure at the time it was a masterpiece, and it feels very authentic, but it doesn't really strike me as timeless. The general view of the club was no one really liked it. I'm glad I read it, since I at least now know, but I would not recommend it nor reread it.

So...I know this is a supposed classic and it sooo great and blah blah blah pffft. But, I did not like it. I don't know if it's because I didn't read it in high school like everyone else but read it later in life when I just wanted this whiny spoiled rich kid to shutttt upppppp. I also didn't care for the writing style - some may call it simple prose, I call it crap that my cat could write (and probably would. My cat has a similar sense of entitlement to that of Holden Caulfiend - oops, I mean Caulfield) Now, I try not to let this influence my opinion of J.D. salinger's other celebrated work as I have not yet read anything else by him and I hear Frannie and Zooey is amazing. So, yeah, there you have it. Didn't like Catcher in the Rye, so sue me.
