His daydreams are often hilarious, but most times you can't help but find yourself agreeing with him. He has thoughts that I think everyone has at some point in their life, but don't know that other people share them. J.D. Salinger captures these thoughts so perfectly, and that's what makes this book so amazing.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book to every teenager and young adult....

Yawn city.</p><p><strong>Just the Facts:</strong>  I'm not honestly sure what prompted me to read The Catcher in the Rye.  I think it was all the people who raved about it.  Perhaps the feeling that I <em>should</em> read it simply because it is a classic.  Not sure.  But what I am sure about is that I really disliked this book.</p><p>The Catcher in the Rye is the story of Holden Caulfield; a well-off teenager who has flunked out of yet another private school.  The book is basically a diary of the two days he spends after leaving school and going home to his family and the situations in which he becomes involved.</p><p>The book, at first, was good.  But I kept waiting for something really bad or really interesting to happen. Something that would make me stand up and say "Aha!  I understand why this is such a beloved story!"  Unfortunately that never happened and all I got was the continuing, rambling, boring story of Holden...</p>...
