Criticism:
This is a very curious book. Reading it is like meeting someone who with many will feel very identified, but at the same time revolutionary and extremely honest with the reader, treating on corruption and people's discontrol. It is written as if your best friend of all your life commented on everything that he saw, every thought he has. It is very interesting, and although it doesn't have much action, it is not boring and it grips the reader, although not to an extreme. It is one of those books which don't have a completely specific plot, but that doesn't need it due to the quality of how it is written and due to what it transmits emotionally. It makes the reader contemplate human behaviour, society, and his position in it with other eyes, and although it is terribly pessimistic it sticks to reality.
Reading this book is like talking with someone. It uses very curious and different literary techniques, like repeating always the same words on purpose. Furthermore, it is very easy to read. It is a book that, although it is written in an absolutely different way, I would classify next to "The Great Gatsby" and would recommend as a compulsory read for anyone.

The year was 1966 and my English teacher selected CATCHER IN THE RYE for me from the school library. It was a pivotal point in my life, and at fourteen years old,it caused me to finally grow up and quit reading Mickey Spillane and Hank Janson.
