Megan I loved your book review. You picked up on two of the most important moments (elements?) of the book that I actually left out when I taught my students The Catcher in the Rye -- the role of Sunny, the prostitute, and the fact that Phoebe really is the catcher. My students are not literarily-inclined (yes, I know, not a word), but that they saw this was by far the best moment of my young teaching career. I'm interested that you've read this book so many times. I couldn't. I read it once, put it down, and could not read it for several years. Almost ten actually. It haunted me. But yes - thank you for a great review.

James I liked your review but I disagree. "we are all fake" is simply a cop out. We are not all fake. Many of us are fake but they are what is wrong with society. If you are fake, I suggest you (not you sahen, anyone reading this) try to rectify you're shortcomings and not try to pass them off as normal. Holden was a spoiled self centered brat and he does NOT represent teenagers or society. Holden is fake not everyone else, although he does pick up on a few fellow fakers.
His almost religious regard for his sister (I forgot her name too) is less about godliness and more about Holden's Realization that he is a spoiled brat and any hope for the future rested on his sister who was not a complete waste of oxygen like himself.

Jay Kim since the words used in this books are easy and written in conversational language, once u pick up the book and read, u can keep read it, true.
