The Catcher in the Rye

I read this book because I'm trying to mix some classic in with all the contemporary stuff I read so I picked this one because it's short! It's one of those books that I liked more once I was finished than I did as I was reading it. There are parts that are really slow and difficult to trudge through. But in all, it's extremely well written. The narrator's frantic pace really comes through and it was easy for me to feel excited and then sorry for him all at once. I'd recommend this book for anyone who wants to tackle a classic that isn't daunting.
