Oh. Fun. Somehow I'm less inclined to read it now. XD

Twelve hours is simply not enough time for a book that's that big...

Catcher in the Rye was actually semi-amusing. ~~Well, okay, so I was about ten...~~

I have a thing against characters who don't seem to change much over the course of a story. *hates Max for this reason* If Holden had just actually done something other than skulk I would have been happier.

To me it was entertaining because ooh hey look the fifties. ~~As far as I cared Holden could go fuck himself and die...~~

I'm not sure...CitR didn't have as much of a period feel as...say... Great Gatsby. Frankly I felt that CitR could have just as easily happened today as fifty years ago.

So is Catcher in the Rye not a good book? I checked it out today(along with about 16 other books) because I'd heard good things about it.

Depends on your patience level. For me when I was reading it, the main character had just hit my "Top Ten List of Characters that Need to be Shot. Now." list.
