Title: OVERRATED- salinger's other works are much better
Review: Although I do have to agree with most of the people below that CATCHER is entertaining and a page-turner, it definitely did not give me the feeling of enlightenment reading other Salinger books did. CATCHER doesn't really have a plot or a meaning to me. Holden Caulfield is a boring, predictable, spoiled-brat prep school kid. Salinger's other characters (the Glass family) are much more multi-faceted and interesting. Do yourself a service and read Franny & Zooey or Raise the Roof Beam High, Carpenters & Seymour.His other books appeal to anyone on a spiritual search or who just want intelligently written books, not just teenagers who need to be coaxed with a mindless plot including lots of swearing, smoking, and sex to read a book. (by the way, i am a teenager, not a whiny middle-aged person)
