The Catcher In The Rye

Anyone enjoy this book? All my friends hate it with a passion, but I remember reading it when I was thirteen and loving it. So, I read again over the weekend and I guess I fell in love with it again. So, any opinions on this book?

It's my favorite book. I am Holden Caulfield.

I went into thinking I'd hate it, came out with it as one of my top ten favorite books. Read it for the first time at 22.

It's a great book

It's the kind of book you 'hate' when you start reading 'serious' literature because it's high school-tier. Phonies

Get better friends

its both overrated and underrated. overrated by readers who were alive at the time to actually get in with the hype, and underrated by children today who like to hate everything. it has a point, says point, and does it well. although i dont agree with it, like most, its not like its a bad book. i dont agree with a lot of books but i can still appreciate someones ideas.

Read it in high school and thought it was boring.

Went back to it a few years later and was very overwhelmed, still haven't found a fictional character that I can more strongly relate to than Holden.

Same here

Same, definitely up there I'm my top five.

I find passionate dislike of this book to be a pretty good test as to whether I will dislike a person.
