Review Detail

Reader reviewed by abscae

I have to say, I was truly amazed about this book. Some people say this book is about a boy who's just been kicked out of school, too scared to tell his parents, so he wanders New York City for three days with a limited amount of money. I say this book is about coming to terms of a death of a sibling, and trying to find the meaning of life.

So, as said, Holden's been kicked out of school. His brother, Allie, died a while ago, and since then he doesn't want to do well. So he lets his grades plummet. He doesn't tell his parents, and he gets kicked out (for the umpteenth time).

I love this book solely because of how real it felt. It didn't feel like a character, it felt like a story, and it made me feel so sympathetic to Holden, it's amazing. Not only that, but just the hidden meaning behind the book was phenomenal.

Read it, you won't regret it.
