Title: The Catcher in the Rye
Author: J. D. Salinger
Grade: A
Ideal Audience: Boys & Girls, 13+

Summary: Holden Caulfield, sixteen years old, has gone from school to school, flunking his classes and being subsequently expelled from each institution. Now he’s leaving Pencey, and is set to return home on Wednesday. But spurred on by his general dislike of the “phonies” around him, Holden decides to spend a few days in New York City until Wednesday comes.

Using his height and unusual strands of gray hair as a disguise, Holden checks into a hotel room. However, he does not anticipate how quickly he will become bored and lonely. As he wanders around the city and calls up old friends, Holden reveals to the reader his alternating acceptance and contempt of human beings.

As the novel continues, we learn many of the reasons behind Holden’s actions and thought processes. His funny and touching story keeps the reader hooked until the last page.

My thoughts: The Catcher in the Rye does not have a standard plot line in that it doesn’t contain a single conflict and finally a resolution. The main focus of critics has been Holden’s voice, and that indeed is what keeps the book moving.

I would recommend this novel to all teenagers and interested adults. Although there has been questioning as to whether modern teens can relate with Holden, there is no doubt that we can all learn from and laugh with him.

I am very confortable with my reading device. It is very useful when traveling or resting at my bed. In fact, some of my friends (and even strange people in the street) ask me about my kindle… I can read for hours in it and it does not hurt my eyes.

This is a nice watch with good functionality. It will improve your running. I have two major irritations: 1) it takes forever to synch with satellites, 2) it is silly huge.

Have been thrown by the new requirements of this software. It seems to me to have needless difficulties simply saving a doc to another location, changing formatting, and many other word processing tasks. I’m struggling with a guide book published by Microsoft– another $25 expenditure–Office Home & Student 2007 which I should have got from Amazon but I needed answers right away!
