Catcher was a good HS English class assignment years ago. Today, considering it's message and style and the world students presently live in, the story does not fit in at all. The story of the author and even a movie about this are fun watches. But, designating this as an English class assignment would be wasteful of limited student time Believe me. In the classroom for 18 years.

I picked up this book and started reading it and wondered if I picked up one of my journals and was reading that instead. I think at a time in our lives we all go through what Holden was going through. When you read it in book form or fiction it reassures that you’re okay.

I love this book how JD Salinger develop a almost real history of a ordinary kind that overcome things that will be a problem, he just take it easy and use his common sense to express about the other and the things that he have around. I recommend this book to everybody that at least ready for fun because i reading it for my English 3 Honors class in Edison HS, Philadelphia, PA. A+
I like books with a plot or moral. This book had neither. I'd rather not have wasted my time reading it. The only other book I can say that about (after all the hype) was Harper Lee's "Go Set A Watchman".

I have heard about this book for years. I finally decided to read it after the author died. It is very honest from a young man's perspective. It is funny sometimes and very sad at some points. I would recommend this book.
