Title: Quite boring till the last few pages
Review: I'm a pretty big J.D. Salinger fan, having previously read The Catcher in the Rye and Nine Stories and enjoyed both but with this book I found it very hard to finish, despite the fact that it is only 202 pages. Its pretty slow reading and not a lot is happening in the book. It all basically takes place in the Glass flat in NYC and there are 4 main characters, Franny, Zooey, Franny's mother and boyfriend. It's all about the Jesus Prayer and finding out about religion for Franny and how she lives her life.All Salinger is doing in this book is putting down some tidbit of his philosophy down in fiction form with characters. Only real big Salinger fans should attempt to read this and if you're only wanting to read a Salinger book stick with The Cathcher in the Rye.
