"The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you. Written with the clarity of a boy leaving childhood, it deals with society, love, loss, and expectations without ever falling into the clutch of a cliche.

As what I said, children have the most purest souls in the world, old Phoebe saved him, Old Phoebe changed his plan
評分並不能說喜歡,卻能讀下去的第一人稱的敘述。鄙夷,憤怒,軟弱。為什麼不乾脆遠離那些他認為phony的人呢?青少年時期的掙紮啊。幾乎要忘瞭。
評分不知道為什麼讀完的一瞬間突然傷心起來。還有the catcher in the rye終於齣現的時候也覺得難過。這個纔是在學校的時候該有的課外讀物嘛
評分自己在那個年紀,應該比書中寫的更糟糕。喪,迷失,叛逆,想逃離。甚至不明白繼續生活下去的意義。 最後一節Phoebe真的很治愈,自己帶著行李要跟哥哥逃離,單是這個幼稚的舉動就很感動。有個妹妹或姐姐真的會幸福很多!
評分迴學校聽塞林格的講座...忽然發現高中時讀的是這一本...與其說髒話,好像印象最深刻的一個英文詞是marvelous...而其中的情節,無論是讓妹妹迴傢,還是找老師求救,那些以為自己當初沒怎麼看懂,或是已經忘卻的內容,居然其實還記得...有時間希望再讀一次...
