I recently finished reading the book “Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger. It was about a teenage boy, Holden Caufield who has gotten kicked out of yet another prep school for failing his classes. While the book was decent, it still had a lot of ups and downs.
I think part of the reason I didn’t like the book is that I am a fourteen year old girl, and I can’t really relate to the events in the book. Too many of the cultural references were before my time, and made it difficult to read at times. I’m also not a fan of books that move slowly, and this book does start off very slow.
There are also things that I liked about the book. I liked how the author wasn’t afraid of how people would react to his book. He just wrote what he wanted. Another good thing about the book is the even when it was moving slowly I wanted to keep reading to find out why it is one of the most banned books in the United States.
