Week three and book three:

the original cover, 1951.

This week i did The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger, my review was bad. I feel that's the only way to put it. I didnt like the book, and before class i finished the book and was still hung up on the lack of plot, the craziness of the main character and the sad fall the book took from the high pedistole it had been put on from the moment it was released. Maybe i was excited because the book was such an American classic and famous as it was linked to the killing of John Lennon(The Beatles). I fi could rewrite the review i would, i wouldnt say it was fantastic, bu looking back on 'The Catcher in the Rye', it was amazing writing, the themes involved and the anguish of the main charchter was intense and interesting. The book was released in 1951, and was a strange book even for those times. It is an amazing book and maybe ill read it again without all the expectation. OK book, but bad review writing by me. I'm going to read Perfume next week, I've watched the movie and it's been on the Whitcoulls top 100 for years, so i'm excited and hopeful that it's much better then the last book.
