Title: Disappointing
Review: I enjoy reading and I haven't read all the so-called "classics" so every once in a while I'll pick one up to see what all the 'fuss' is about and to say that I've actually read it. This way I don't have the bias of teachers and/or professors etc.Perhaps it is my upbringing but Catcher in the Rye, for me, was in a word, boring. Holden Caulfield, to me, was not a "psychologically challenged" youth but a whiny teenager who needed a good kick in the pants. It was well written but I found myself continually asking "what's the point?" and when I reached the end my reaction was "That's it?? That's all?" I suppose 'intellectuals' will insist I missed the point but I will remain off the bandwagon and say that I would not recommend this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
