Negative Positive
Title: Did any of the reviewers even READ this book?
Review: I have just read several reviews posted regarding "The Catcher in the Rye." I am amazed that none have even the slightest comprehension of the plight of the main character, Holden Caufield, or the timeless truth and lessons in this book. In 2001, can we, as a culture, only appreciate the "challenge" of coming of age if it's on a screen, has full female frontal, and moves along as quickly as its Number 1 soundtrack? Is it possible that so many Americans, supposedly appreciative of literature, are so uncultured and inept? (or never discussed this book's meaning in a high school English class?) I will always go back to this story of Holden, in rememberance of the sadness and fondness of youth.
Is the review positive or negative?
