Book Review of The Catcher in the Rye

I was not impressed by this book at all. I don't really understand why it's considered a classic novel, I guess it's because it was considered risque for its generation and era it was first published in. To me the use of cuss words and profanity was uncalled for. If the author was trying to make the dialogue seem more like today's dialogues, he really missed the mark, cuz even today the profanity isn't that prevalent in the average conversation.
