Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisThe "brilliant, funny, meaningful novel" ( The New Yorker ) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books. "If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth." The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caufield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days., The brilliant, funny, meaningful novel ( The New Yorker ) that established J.

  • A different view of the world.

    It's a look into the mind of a young man that has problems mentally coping with everyday life. He isn't very empathic and finds fault with everyone and everything. He has trouble fitting in and is seen as a problem by his schools (several since he is kicked out of most). The story is written in first person so you are seeing the world through his eyes. His only redemption is his love for his little sister.

  • Amazing story

    Book came earlier than expected in perfect condition. This book is one of my favorites, and I would recommend to people of all ages. Tells the often overlooked and extinguished story of young American teens who feel forgotten by society and frustrated with their situation. Beautiful and compelling and easy to read.

  • Great used book

    Gave as a Christmas gift to my Granddaughter She loves all books. It didn’t matter to her if it was used or not what matters is the content. She was super excited to get it and found a wonderful surprise inside with the original owners name.

  • Classic 20th century novel for youth

    Excellent, but odd book about the inner thoughts and angst of a teenager in the early 1950's. Is sometimes silly and weird, but are the random thoughts of a young man with little direction in life. A interesting look into the mind of a young man from that era.

  • Brilliantly written

    Catcher in the Rye is a book I read in high school back in 1980. I recall not wanting to consume literature that was mandatory reading, but I never forgot that book. Reading it again forty years later was a nice experience.
