Genre: YA Fiction/ Classic
We just got finished with this one for Adv LAII.
Holden Caulfield, has a lot of issues. He is being kicked out of his prep school for failing every class but english. However, Holden runs away from school after his roommate goes out with Jane Gallagher, a girl he's had a crush on for years. He doesn't want to tell his parents about flunking out, so he just stays in New York City for a few days until his school vacation starts. The entire book only courses a few days, but a lot happens.I liked it, but there wasn't any major conflicts. There are some fights, and some girls problems, but nothing major that spanned the entire book. I'm not saying that it was boring, I was interested through out the whole story. But, it may not be a favorite if adventure is your thing. The main conflict is Holden's desire for the world to maintain its innocence. However, i think most teenagers would be able to sympathize with what he goes through; Holden worries about his grades, his parents, his social life, his sex life, and his dead brother.
Rating: 4/5
WARNING: There is a lot of language and some sexual content (nothing graphic), in this book, so if that is offensive to you I would not recommend it.
