Before you go any further,
let me tell you something I heard a long time ago. “For every argument there are three sides; the two for which we fight,
and of course the third which is right.” In my opinion, the same goes for
The Catcher in the Rye. Since its publication in the 50’s, it has been the
epitome of controversial books. So before you judge me, let me make this very
clear. The review is MY opinion of the book. You may or may not agree with me
(though it might be rather inconvenient if you don’t).
Honestly, it’s difficult to explain why I love this book!
Obviously, The Catcher in the Rye is not unheard of seeing as it was published
65 years ago and has sold 65 million copies as well! Must be fun to sell a
million copies a year!
That should say enough about the genius of this book but I must warn
you, it does have traits that most people will strongly recommend against. In
fact given the profanity, narcissism and other erratic topics the book revolves
around, I say that sensitive readers ought to be on their guard.

So this is a neutral positivity for the book. There are definite
patterns of nervous breakdowns, depressions, sexual explorations and other bad-to-read-in-literature
words and some readers won’t really like it. It’s something that not every reader will be
able to grasp or hold onto, but it's something you'll never forget. In other
words, if you haven’t already, give it a shot!
