Title: Not good for an AP English class
Review: I chose this book as one of my contemporary literature books for my AP English class. Of the 6 books we pick we have to write "logs" on them every thirty pages or so. A portion of this log requires an insight in the section and let me tell you, even though this book was awarded as Book of the Century, it is extremely hard to find anything insightful in it.The basic premise is this:"I hate everything. I'm depressed. I want to kill myself by jumping out of a window or being strapped to an atomic bomb. I'm just too much of a wuss to go through with it."I'm sure if I had more time to read it over I could find more things in it, but if you're trying to stick to a schedule for a class, this is not the book to choose. There is very little material to work with if you have to write a good deal about the book and I honestly think Salinger was just making up this story as he went along.
Is the review positive or negative?
