Description

The brilliant, funny, meaningful novel (The New Yorker) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books.
If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caufield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days.

Not bad
By: Octa Saktianti

The book touches on important themes in a manner that excels in impacting the reader. As a relatable character, Holden helps to make the book a fairly worthwhile read. However, as Holden meets character upon character in the book, it can be difficult to keep track of them. The nature of Holden’s wandering means nearly constant changes that sometimes make the plot feel incoherent. His frequent tangents can be an insight into his mind, but can occasionally leave the reader thinking “get back to the story already.” While it is certainly a good book, it is questionable whether it deserves its classical literature reputation or not. I did not find it to be significantly better than an average book to be worthy of the popularity that it has.

I'm sorry, what?
By: Insani A. Firdaus

Is it the book which purposely made its reader hate every single thing about it? Or is it just me?

It reminded me all those years ago when I started reading Paulo Coelho's works. Everyone loved it. Everyone talked about how important his works, the meaning, and whatnot. And I was like..."Okay what are you trying to say?". I didn't understand them. All of them. I gave up.

And similar thing happened with this book. While I couldn't help but notice how many people gushing over this book, I couldn't even enjoy this book. I simply didn't get it. The character kept complaining about this phony and that phony while being a phony himself the entire time.

Maybe that was what exactly Salinger tried to accomplish? Making reader hate his charaters?

I. Didn't. Understand. It.

A classic. Not the easiest to read.
By: Antonius B.

Had heard of this book since high school, but never read it. When the author passed away, I decided it was time to buy and read it. Had no idea of what to expect, and was surprised with what it was about. I think the main character had ADHD. I think he was quite intelligent, although he could not make it in the school environment. I tired of the explanation he went into on each topic, but forced myself to finish the book. It was a quick read but did not pass this one on.
