The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye 

By: J.D. Salinger

Synopsis: This is a story about a teenager, Holden Caulfield, and the days following his expulsion from his boarding school. It's about him exploring New York by himself and basically the struggles that come along with finding oneself. He has quite the adventure in the two days before he goes home and excepts his fate. 

Review: Personally I hated this book. I thought it was pointless. All it was was the rambling of a spoiled kid who had some issues that really had no importance to anything. Holden talked to  much about pointless things and all of his "problems" were really not that big of a deal.  I can not find anything good about this book, some people think it's a coming of age story or that Holden is trying to help keep children innocent but personally I saw no message. I would rather read a book that has a message or even a storyline, which this book had neither of. I was excited to read this book but I was very disappointed.
