Title: The book that spawned a stereotype
Review: How ironic that a book that was once hailed for boldly exposing the stereotypes of our world has now become one itself. The moody, rebellious teenager, bored with the world after a decade and a half of living, stops going to school and wanders the urban wasteland in search of himself. Catcher might have been the original, but it's now one of millions of copycat teen-angst novels. The writing may be a little better than the modern hollywoodized versions, but the subject matter is old hat today. For a typically rebellious teenager, it might be a refuge; for me, it was kind of depressing. I expected more than a whiny kid.
