Negative Positive
Title: Tedious Adolescent angst.
Review: I have a Masters Degree in Literature but I find this so-called classic a great big yawn. Maybe in it's time it was revolutionary, exciting and shocking for the main character in a book to point out that most people in society are fake and to question everything but today it's been done so much it's tedious and depression. Who wants to hear an adolescent whine on and on page after page about how other people suck?He doesn't try to see the beauty or goodness in anything and in the fifties this may have been an interesting and new perspective but in today's very cynical world it's just dull. And I don't believe half the people giving this book great reviews really like it.If you want to read about adolescant angst try a book with a character who actually has some self awareness. All Caufeild does is whine.Read The Bell Jar or Prozac Nation or The Luckiest Girl in the World if you want a fascinating picture of adolesant angst instead of just a tedious whine.
