Negative Positive
Title: Everybody's a critic
Review: I've read some of the reviews and it's mostly from 2 opposite extremes of love or hate. No wonder Salinger feel compeled to retreat from society, the venom sometimes is too bitter a pill. I always thought Catcher in the Rye is about family or specifically relationship between siblings. The ending where the sister is pleading Holden to stay is one of the most poignant moment that I've ever read. It's not the world that he's angry about, it's the disconnection from his family and it took a display of love from his sister to finally pull him back. I've always felt a quiet introspection everytime I read the book and a greater appreciation for my family and especially my sisters. I think what Mr. Salinger is trying to say is that nothing is more important than family, nothing.
Is the review positive or negative?
