This week I started reading "The Catcher in The Rye". This book is a sweet story following teenage Holden Caulfield, from New York. The stroy begins with him explaining aboyt how he got kicked out of his boarding school, Pencey. Holden is very cynical and sort of a sad character, however at the same time he is very charming. For example, he'll drag on about how much he hates his old friend Sally, but he still goes on a date with her. Or how he hates plays yet he still brongs her to one because she's a big theatre person. He even talks about his friend Ackley who never brushes his teeth yet he still hangs out with him a lot.
Most of the book he talks about how he's depressed or how much he hates something but actaully he seems like a sweet guy. He's always talking about how much he loves his little 12 year sister Phoebe. He even wanders around trying to find her favorite record and buy it for her to then bring to her in the park. And even though he doesnt want to walk around trying to find this record, he still wants to go bring it to his little sister.
I'm not done with the book yet, however i like it a lot. Considering it only follows one person in one city for a short time, it's very interesting. I think Holden Caulfield is really actually a very amusing character that can keep the book enjoyable.
