Title: A classic but a little dated
Review: I know it is probably akin to a crime against humanity to dis this book, after all who hasn't had to read this book in high school? But, I recently reread this book some 25 years after high school and I'm sorry but the language is a little bit out of date. Wouldn't it be great if Salinger came out of retirement and rewrote this book to today's language standards? It is still the best novel around about the alienation of America's youth (and boy are they ever alienated now more than ever) so it is still a worthwhile read if you can get past the archaic language. Come back J.D. we need you more than ever!
Is the review positive or negative?
