Title: The Greatest Story of the 20th Century
Review: The Catcher In The Rye is not just a story about your frustrated teenager who doesn't like anything, as his little sister Phoebe points out in the book. It's a story about the person that reflects the emotions given to us by the world. Here's a 17 year old who just got kicked out of high school straight into the streets of New York City. He doesn't seem mad about being kicked out of school, not at all. He enjoys his time as only Holden Caulfield knows how: Calls up old friends, goes to bars, pays for a prostitute (only to not have sex with her), dances with girls in clubs where the best Jazz players play, and eventually manages to get drunk out of his mind. Inside Holden, is a person who is fed up with the world though, the way things are, the way things aren't. Holden is no role model; he's a sex crazed, lying, cigarette smoker, but he's himself. He never pretends to be anything he isn't and stays true to that ever so famous title, The Catcher In The Rye.
