Review of 'The Catcher in the Rye' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
This is story about the coming of age of Holden Caulfield, a boy who doesn't seem to find his own place in the world. Holden, who is the main character, has been expelled from school and during these 190-odd pages, he's looking at his options before returning home on wednesday and face his parents.
It's a very well written book, penned down in fairly simple english so it was a rather quick read. I did enjoy it, as each chapter is a little story on its own. He's always meeting some new people or renews his views on old friends, but the author always keeps it interesting. I had expected a bit more from the plot itself, as this book is one of the American classics, but nevertheless I enjoyed it!
