I really, really wanted to like this book. This wasn't required reading for me in high school, so I decided to pick up a copy after hearing about Salinger's death and the constant references to this 'classic' work. After spending approximately 6 months half-heartedly trying to read this relatively short book and only making it halfway through, I finally gave up. I tried, but found it boring and extremely dated. I kept putting it aside, thinking I would read a different book and then go back and try 'Catcher' again. I did this about 8 times before I finally figured out that it simply wasn't going to become any more appealing to me no matter how many books I read between attempts to finish this one. :(

My favorite Christopher Moore book so far, closely followed by "Fool." Manages to be poignant, irreverent and funny all at the same time.

Absolutely spellbinding. Heartbreaking and hopeful in the same turn. I highly recommend it.
