Title: If a body catch a body...
Review: As one of the "great books", and one that a former consumer I worked with listed as her favorite, I felt a certain obligation to read <em>Catcher</em>, at least once.Alienation? You betcha.Amazing insight on the part of the Narrator? No.Interesting insight on the part of the author, into cynical teenage angst? Somewhat.I didn't particularly enjoy reading Catcher, nor did I see, at the time, what the "greatness" that was supposed to be mined from the pages. Reflecting on it now I can begin to see a little of it. Perhaps this is one of those books that was meant to be read and discussed as a group, rather than consumed in a solitary mode.
Is the review positive or negative?
