Negative Positive
Title: Very over-rated
Review: I am of like mind with the reviewer who found "Catcher in the Rye" to be quite tedious, a novel with no plot, no character development, and very little value as a novel. I like my fiction to be stimulating, emotionally and intellectually; and entertaining, while also making a clear and worthwhile statement about the human condition. Recent novels like MOTHER OF PEARL, or MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, or THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY are far more to my taste. Obviously, "Catcher in the Rye" has proven to be of immense value to many people. I'm just not one of them.
