it was amazing
bookshelves: humor, favorites, slice-of-life, classic, young-adult, gothic

Holden Caulfield,through passing the sensitive age of young-adulthood ,questions the very world of his and everybody.sad,exhausted,tired and frustrated ,while being a run away,he is searching for an answer,a cure and a path to his long time questions.feeling alone and very lonely in his way;he knows deep inside that something is not right.

I know this is insane for me to love this book so much,but I truly did.though at the beginning I was feeling exactly the opposite.
in the end I wanted to hold it in my arms like a teddy bear.it spoke my heart and sometimes I even felt as if I'm the narrator.now,if you think I'm crazy or anything,I don't blame you.I swear I'm a madwoman!

“If you do something too good, then, after a while, if you don't watch it, you start showing off. And then you're not as good any more.”

Cora Wow,you seriously make me curious!


Ginny well,you know,the book is so weird!I don't know maybe it's just me feeling like this.but it's sure different from other books.

Cora The book is so famous that I always wanted to read it.But whenever I started to read ,I gave up after some pages.It's a bad habit of mine to judge books based on only their first pages! Maybe if I'd read further,I'd have felt like you!


Nargess I'm sure I would like it!


Ginny oh,yeah.I know what you mean.I suggest you read it to the end.but I can't guarantee if you'll like it much.;)

@Nargess: that's good!:)

Cora You're welcome. It's a tempting review and a very beautiful one.
I like the holding teddy bear thing,the part you said you are a madwoman. I don't know you wrote on purpose or not.But till now that I read more half of the book, Holden said "like a madman" more than 4 times. Every time, it reminded me of your review!:)
