Many people cite The Catcher in the Rye as a masterpiece, as a story with amazing depth, or as a literary classic that holds the power to move you! Well, we all have different opinions...Personally, I found this to be one of the most boring stories I have ever had the displeasure of reading. The story has no plot, and centers around the first-person whining of Holden- a college-aged rich kid so obnoxious, he made me want to jump into the story and slap him silly!To each their own! But I do NOT recommend this book, and I just wanted to let it be known, that not everyone enjoys this story!
