book report on the Catcher in the Rye
I found the "Catcher In The Rye" to be one of the best books I've ever read. I found it more interesting than books such as "The Crucible", "Great Gatsby", and even Ben Franklin's "Autobiography". Writer Jerome David Salinger has peiced together a great novel. In New York City, 1919, Salinger was born. With his father, Sol, being a food importer, and having an average mother, Miriam, noone knows where he attained his natural love for theatre.

Overall, I think that this is a great book, and I won't spoil the rest for anyone who wants to read it. Despite this being the only novel by Salinger, it shows that he put a lot of time and effort into "Catcher In The Rye". It, like few other novels, is definitley worth at least two revisions, and highly reccoment it to anyone who can read. The overall book seems to be more of a confession than a story, but it provides an entertaining change. The grizzled Holden "spills his guts" to a psychoanylist, revealing an entertaining plot to an entertaining book. One of the most important "angles" in the story is that the narrator is in an awkward psychlogical state. From the opening of the book, where an old and withered Holden Caulfield begins with a distant flashback from a rest home to his days
