main Character is a jerk, finds fault in all people, no common sense. An overrated book, I hope Salinger's other writings are better. President Clinton said it was his favorite book.. HMMM?

The kids an absolute mess and hates the world and somehow gets to be the center of a so called "masterpiece" from an author that never wrote another book with such considerable mention.

This novel is a wonderful tale of love and lost youth in the backdrop of New York during the holiday season. Holden Caulfield's personality doesn't fail him as he is riding around the city in taxis and drinking at the tender age of his teens. From getting expelled from boarding school to ice skating with his girly friend to watching the carousel in the rain, the journey that Catcher in the Rye entrances is nonetheless one of a kind and truly entertaining. A classic that is read by millions.
