About this product
Product Information
Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you. The Catcher in the Rye is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves- the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection.Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived very well packaged and in the condition described by the seller. The holder for the third disc is a little bit broken, but this was probably due to the travelling the item did and not a result of poor packaging. The pricing for the item was around where you would expect it to be for this kind of item, as not a lot of places tend to have it in stock and as such it is quite hard to get a hold of unless you know where to look. Overall, excellent experience with this seller, 5*
