Title: Holden, you got nothing to worry about
Review: A previous reviewer writes: "The writer is extremely clever, and has a way with words." I agree. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a way with the kind of words a 14 year old would be thinking and speaking. That's the genius of Catcher In The Rye, and why it's still a great book -- and still being read -- 50 years later. Holden talks like a 16 year old. Chi-Mo talks like a senior year Lit major at a small private college somewhere. Trust me on this, King Dork will not be on anyone's reading list 50 years from now. A 14 year old high school sophomore probably wouldn't give a shout out to an obscure Hemingway short story (see if you can find it).
Is the review positive or negative?
