Title: First World Problems
Review: When Catcher in the Rye came out it was something of revolution. Never before had anyone took time to explore the mind or problems of the over-privileged, white, American teenager. It is an esoteric novel, a low brow piece of literature that sells to its particular crowd: people who haven't read much, or experienced actual life beyond the age of twenty. Now, it's not necessarily the worst thing I've read, but the acclamations people have given it are beyond absurd. Only a fool could identify with Holden Caulfield. This book is basically the 'Twilight' of its day. The only reason it's regarded as a classic is because enough time has passed. Somehow the imagery of an era gone by is enough to cement itself as something of a must read. But you don't need to read it. The story is very simple. It's about an angry white kid, who travels across the city, and finds out that there's more to life than his incessant, introspective whining...and of course there is.
