“THE CATCHER IN THE RYE”
Review
2018
“Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody .”
J.D. Salinger
Book is read. I'm very pleased to report that I joined the group of people who have already read “The catcher in the rye”. Many people have mentioned this story in some conversations and lots of quotes in Internet contain “J.D.Salinder” in the end of it, therefore I was really excited when we decided to read this book as a part of our English lesson course . It was very good way for English skills practice and also self-liberalizing.
I think many teenagers would be able to relate the book to the actual themes - it's a modern classic of today . Every teeneager has had once felt himself sort of depressed and upset . It is absolutely normal state for identity formation. We mature, we become adults, we revise our values and are feeling really unusual sometimes. Lots of times I have caught myself thinking that I'd already felt something like this before … Lots of moments in this book were really similar to some periods of my life and many relatives seemed very similar to characters of this book.
“The Catcher in the Rye” certainly wouldn't be everyone's “cup of tea book”, however I find it an exciting and captivating reading , with a variety of brutal reality poured in along with some humour, contrasting with moments of depression .
For me it's quite difficult to rate this book. On the one hand , it is very strange and depressive. While reading it I was thinking and assuming myself being the heros of this book. All my thoughts were so sad and denudative. I was even thinking about what I am and what I am living for and is there any point for it. Serious influence, isn’t it?
On the other hand, this book gave me a lot. It has put me thinking about significant things, as well as J.D. Salinger's novel is a wake-up call for all teenagers and in a sense is inspiring to read because it sends out the message that we should all remain hopeful and true to ourselves. Teenagers can appeal to this story because of its complex themes of rebellion, identity and independence, but I would recommend everyone to read it before becoming an adult because it's the only way you could understand Holden 's actions while reading the book!
To conclude, I would like to say that I don’t regret reading “The catcher in the rye”. It wasn't similar to the books I've read before, so that it was something new and uncommon. I think that this is one of those books that everyone should read being a teen. Maybe this book would save from some mistakes we can make being a teenager. As the saying goes, it is better to learn on other people's mistakes than to make them yourself.
