A review by classicsandcatnaps
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

adventurous reflective sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Thought provoking but not really enjoyable for me. The character has a distinct voice that gets into your head (and to quote his sister, “stop cursing so much”)
I definitely looked up some study guides to help with analysis a little bit. This seems like it’d be fun in a lit class or book club but maybe not just for a fun read
