Edward Albert’s Reviews > The Catcher in the Rye > Status Update

I saved the last 10 pages for the daytime to savor them instead of devouring them in the night.

Old man walked by me sitting on bench and he says to me “great book“ upon seeing the cover. I want my own book covers to be that memorable.

Cant put it down. The narrator is so blunt.

I’m keeping in mind this was published 1945 because there is some homophobia and diminishing of women into sex property of men. I do really enjoy the narrators easy flow and blunt way of expressing his thoughts. Salinger has a great way of blending exposition with rising action that comes to a peak and is connected.
