Let’s start this off with saying that I thought Holden Caufield, from J. D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, is one of the most disrespectful teens I’ve ever read about. Then I realized that most of his potty mouth or rude comments stay in his head. I though this character reminds me of me sometimes. What he thinks and what he does can be completely different things.
I thought this book was really good. The beginning is a little bit slow but Salinger really must have targeted the teen audience. Though a lot of people think this book should be read by college students, I think anyone in high or even upper middle school would be able to relate.
It makes me wonder what happens to Holden Caufield. I think his experience wandering around New York alone would help him learn that the world doesn’t revolve around him. As a teen I have to admit that at most time I think the same way. I think that Holden has a lot of potential and that he could live up to it if he really strived to. I would recommend this book, its funny and a nonstop page turner.
