I just finished The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger.
I happened to love it. It wasn't at all hard to read and was quite modern compared to other works such as A Tale of Two Cities. It was a great, depressing coming of age story. I enjoyed Holden's cynical, witty thoughts on the world. I especially loved when Phoebe, Holden's sister, asked him what he likes and what he wants to be when he gets older. I won't give away his answer, but I thought it was wonderful in a heartbreaking kind of way (does that make sense?). The chemistry between them was classic. I loved the ending, although it did become a bit boring at some points. I would suggest reading it on your free time instead of for school. You'd probably enjoy it more. Thumbs up.
