Product description
Review
"A contemporary master--a genius...Here was a man who used language as if it were pure energy beautifully controlled, and who knew exactly what he was doing in every silence as well as in every word."--Richard Yates, New York Times Book Review
"In Mr. Salinger we have a fresh voice. One can actually hear it speaking, and what is has to say is uncannily true, perceptive, and compassionate."--Clifton Fadiman, Book-of-the-Month Club News
"Salinger's work meant a lot to me when I was a young person and his writing still sings now."--Dave Eggers
"We read The Catcher in the Rye and feel like the book understands us in deep and improbable ways."--John Green

Back of the book will give a glimpse into the quality of this print, spelling mistakes and sentences which makes no sense. The print is wonky on pages and varied sized throughout. Insane that this was $21 as it's flimsy and obviously the cheapest print. Awful.

Most confusing book I have ever read. I barely understand some parts and I feel as if it is rushed, not concise. I hope you can get through the book better than I did. This book was, to simply put it...
Disjointed.

I have met a few Holden Caulfields in my time. A very well written book. It is a tad depressing in places, which is why I only gave it four stars, but it meant a lot, if you know what I mean.

Rubbish book not the classic book the literature snobs would have you believe
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2018Verified Purchase
This book is rubbish. I bought and read it after hearing it was a brilliant classic but I honestly think people probably think the same as I do but to not appear uneducated or think they have to suck up to the literature snobs they claim it’s wonderful!! It’s not!!

very disappointed!
Reviewed in India on 1 July 2017Verified Purchase
It is undoubtedly a book everyone must read. But major complaint to the seller/publisher which I hope Amazon will look into it. I recently got aound to reading the books some months after buying it. On opening the book, I found that after pg 50, the next fifty pages had been skipped from the book. And the remaining pages were jumbled up, some were double printed on the same page, some were diagonally printed. As a result, could not read the book beyond the first fifty pages.
I don't think k it is an original penguin print, i am pretty sure the seller is selling a plagarised version of this book. My advice, definitely read this book but do NOT buy from this seller/publisher, very disappointed!

I believe this book is about a fish that is trying to find his son,but his son is in a glass box full of water near to a dentist in Tasmania or somewhere near there.Sounds a bit wacky but I'm a sucker for a dentist story.

You're all a bunch of phonies
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2018Verified Purchase
I had heard of this novel for many years before I got around to reading it and I had no idea what it was about when I started it. But I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the use of language excellent and the lead character extremely likeable. Many of the scenes and phrases used in the book stayed with me long after I put it down and made me think. This book is also extremely short, you can read it in a week easy so give it a go. I would highly recommend it.

I Caught Him In My Tights

Claire, my ex-husband (he’s been ‘reassigned’)
used to love this book when he was still a man. I remember well how he used to go on and on about it when we first met. There was some connection to The Beatles I’m sure, but I wasn’t really listening. Even then he bored me a little. It was the tone of his voice rather than the subject matter. He could make anything sound dull. And that only got worse as time wore on. Talk about ‘phoney’. Even when he announced that he didn’t think he was supposed to be a man, a gay one at that, that he he he was in the wrong body and all that malarkey, he could’ve been talking about the weather, so monotonous was his voice. I don’t know WHERE I’m going with all this, why I’m telling you, or why I’m buying the book. I just want to understand, though I don’t suppose I ever shall.
