Holden Caulfield Turns 50. That kills me.

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you've never read this book, do it. If you've already read this book but it's been a while, do it again.
Review: On July 16, Holden Caulfield--arguably the most talked-about youth in literature (get in line, Huck Finn and Harry Potter!)--turned 50. That same day, my own mother turned [ edited for delicacy's sake ]. So, Holden and Mom share the same birthday...

If a body catch a body coming through the rye

Date of Review:  Sep 23, 2000
Review: Contrary to popular belief, the fact that Catcher in the Rye uses misspelled profanity does not make it edgy. On that same note, the fact that assassin Mark Chapman asked John Lennon to sign it for him earlier in the morning of December 8, 1980...

Phonies really do suck...

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you are a distressed teen, read The Catcher in the Rye.
Review: Are you a depressed teenager that has no clue what you want to do with your life? Are you sick of all the phonies in our society pretending to be who they really aren't? Don't you wish you could live in a world where things run the way you want them...

CATCHER IN THE RYE: (Catch Her Anywhere You Can, Holden Caulfield!)

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's A Class Act on Salinger's Part.
Review: If there is a book to rival HUCKELBERRY FINN as the "Great American Novel," it is surely J.D. Salinger's "Catcher In The Rye".

This book has been lauded to the high heavens and banned to the brimstone of hell, but it keeps on selling and...

This book just KILLED me!

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: I know this is clichéd, but Holden Caufield really kills me!
Review: "Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."

These are the last words in J.D. Salinger's classic book, The Catcher in the Rye. When I say this book is a "classic book", I really do mean that. I might be...

These Phonies Just Kill Me!!!

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: The tale of a phony exposing all the phonies. This banned book is a classic. Some of the greatest character development in all of literature.
Review: Warning:The following review contains SOME coarse language to give the reader a better understanding of how this book actually reads. I am doing this because I want the potential buyer of this book to have a full understanding of what he is getting...

Review: J.D. Salinger's 1945 book, Catcher in the Rye, told to us by the main character Holden Caulfield, begins the night before he leaves Pencey Prep after being kicked out for not applying himself to any subject except composition. It's at least the...

The Catcher in the Rye ... is Cool Stuff

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2000
The Bottom Line: I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Review: .. but I still liked it a lot. I have read this book twice within a gap of two years and I am well past my teenage (so I feel this teenage anger is not carrying me away). Actually I identify with the atmosphere in the book. The kind of...

The Bottom Line: This book makes you think. Start your wheel turning by reading this book.
Review: Hello. My name is Jennifer and I've read The Catcher in the Rye. And I'm wondering, is there a support group out there for reader's who have met Holden Caulfield?

I managed to get through high school and three years of college without...
