Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Megan

Holden Caulfield tells us part of his story in Catcher in the Rye. At sixteen years of age, Holden has already been kicked out of three schools, when he gets kicked out of the fourth one. Instead of waiting until the Christmas holidays to go home, he leaves school early and goes to New York. Although a very big part of the book centers on his complaining, you eventually realize that he is in a mental facility undergoing treatment while he is telling his story. The Catcher in the Rye is a book that every person should read at one point or another.
