Seriously though. I already have. It's boring. Bland. Nothing really happens in the book that matters. It boils down to an idiot running though a city fucking up everything just a little bit more and blaming all his flaws on other people. He doesn't change, he doesn't learn, he just whines.
It's not a good book because any books that aren't horrible have plots where hey, things matter. Something important happens, at some point, anywhere in the book, something happens that actually is noticeable.
Nothing of the sort ever happens in Catcher in the Rye. In fact
nothing happens. It's like reading a journal of the most boring whiny person to ever exist, and it did get so much attention because when it came out it DID break the norm for what was "acceptable", but that's it. They cursed a few times, and it has prostitution. That was what made the book so popular.
It's not even close to being anything of the sort now, not to mention even if it was the glaring problem where there isn't an actual plot or any characters to give a shit about.
That's why it's not good.
When I was five I thought it was about some sort of kidnapper in a rye field. That would be interesting.
What it actually is? Not interesting or really any sort of good at all, unless you're an english teacher and even then you fake it.
