Title: I LIKE A LITTLE ANGST AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GUY...
Review: ...but this is one of the very few books that I have literally thrown in the trash after having read it. The ultimate complaint of lazy readers is that a book "does nothing." The Catcher in the Rye really does do nothing.And it uses "lousy" too much.Which is a lousy thing to do. No matter how lousy a lousy person feels, it's just plain lousy to spend all your lousy time saying lousy. It's even more lousy coming from a lousy book that is so often mentioned (by lousy critics no doubt living in lousy ivory towers) as a literary classic.Maybe the fact that Salinger became a recluse helped the book's short-term public and critical resume. Then again, if I'd written this lousy piece of trash, I'd go into hiding too.This book is lousy--don't waste your time on it. But if you must, I know a landfill where you can find a copy for free.
