Title: Catcher in the Rye
Review: I think someone forced to read this book [for school] is not going to enjoy it as well as if you read it on your own. I haven't been asked to read the book for school, but I read it in my own time and enjoyed it. Reading it for a class, I think, would have ruined it for me. Holden is easy to relate with. He's a thinker. You share his thoughts throughout the book and I found myself agreeing with the majority of them. Though it was a fantastic book, I don't think it deserved as much acclaim as it did. I don't think it was a work of genius or a hard book to write. In my opinion, it read almost like a journal, almost. A journal where you are revealed every detail and every thought. If you were to reach into your mind and dig out your inner thoughts, I'd almost garantee you that they would match up easily with Holden's.
