The Catcher in the Rye

By J.D.Salinger

Completed on January 12, 2018

I won’t be writing a formal review and all, like those long, phony stuff you read in blogs and on tabloid these days. I swear I see some of those things and I want to puke — I’m not even kidding! So the thing I loved most about this book was how goddamn geniune it felt, not like some stupid young adult crap that seems to be churned up these days. There’s millions of them in every bookstore you go to, and they all seem to be talking about the same lousy love story and all.

Anyway, my point is that Holden is a real seventeen-year-old, and he tells you about his story from last December. Some of the stuff is pure gold. Take this, for example, “you take a guy like Stradlater, they never give your regards to anyone.” That killed me.

I don’t really care what you think about the book, but I loved it. That’s the problem with people these days — they always have goddamn criticisms about everything. I swear if I hear one more complaint about the filthy language, I’m gonna puke. Some people you can’t ever seem to reason with. And then they expect you to debate them. I’ll tell you who isn’t going to debate them. Me.

P.S: Review written in the spirit of J.D.Salinger
