Title: a life of our own
Review: Catcher in the Rye is the type of book that few people will understand. You will either love it or hate it, and it all depends on your state of mind. If you can identify with a character who feels out of place from society, who doesn't really have plans for the future, and who sometimes finds himself to be his own best friend, you will love this book. If you can't set your mind to think this way, you will either hate it, or respect the author's point of view, but not connect with it. Holden is more than a prep school drop-out, Holden is a generation. A generation that looks at society and says, "Why can't it be different? Why do I have to follow these rules, or standards?" Holden is ultimately a character who strives to gain a life much more simple than his own, a life that is much more of his liking, a life that many of us wish to have.
