The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger


Fiction - 4 stars - I can see why this book is part of the literary canon, but if I had read it in high school, I would not have caught the subtle depth of the book. It is an interesting portrait of the 1940s, and a very deliberate use of emotional struggle to make the reader sympathize with this disturbed character.
