Negative Positive
Title: A conclusion that is both satisfying and surprising.
Review: Franny and Zooey takes place in a large apartment in upper Manhattan. There is an isolation, seclusion and haunting quality to life in the apartment. The story revolves around Franny Glass, the youngest of the Glass family. The Glass parents are successful and talented performers.Franny is at a crisis point in her young life, a spiritual crisis. She appears to have broken down. Zooey is sent to talk to her. Both Franny and Zooey are precocious, and a bit egotistical as they begin a long personal and searching discussion.The book is not dated, and in my view; it is still relevant and brilliant. The simple white cover and young, lively font capture the story's essence. Franny and Zooey goes much deeper than Catcher in the Rye, and it remains Salinger's greatest book. What makes it great is the conclusion. A conclusion that is both satisfying and surprising.
