Negative Positive
Title: Worst Book Ever?
Review: Possibly. The main character is a rude foul mouthed teenager. As a "coming of age" story it fails miserably. The lack of plot could be overlooked if like Fitzgeralds 'This Side of Paradise' the main character were simply a deeply flawed narcicist wondering about aimlessly, were it not for the lackluster writing of the author.In reading 'Catcher in the Rye' I found myself yearning for the end; waiting, hoping for a "point". The ending came, the point of the story never did. It read like the juvenile ramblings of a lost teenager and not an intelligent one at that.I view the time I spent reading this book as well as the money I spent on it as a complete waste. My biggest regret is that I shall never recoup the time lost which could have been better employed reading something worth while.
