Title: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Pages: 214

Time spent on the “to read” shelf: 4 or 5 months I think.

Days spent reading it: 4 days.

Why I read it: The Catcher in the Rye is an American classic and very controversial. I honestly wanted to see what was so controversial. Also, it was one of those “classics” that I did not read while in high school. In researching about it later I read that in 1981 it was the most censored book in US high schools and the second most taught book in high schools. It was one of the 10 most challenged books in 2005, but it came off the list in 2006. Those are some fun facts for you.

Brief review:
This book frankly annoyed me. The writing has very repetitive and had many aggravating sayings in it. The word “really” is used almost as much as the curse words that are prevalent throughout the book (one reason it is often censored–I would guess that gd appears 2-3 times a page at minimum, sometimes significantly more). And I assure you, both appear more than they need to, I really mean it.

Holden Caulfield is the main character. He is the epitome of teenage angst. His world is utterly pessimistic. He sees only the bad in everything except his sister and his deceased younger brother. He is bright, but is failing out of school. He is obsessed with sex, but cannot develop a relationship with a girl. He is active and pursues all the pleasure trappings that a big city have, but has no defining meaning to his life.

The book covers three days between him being kicked out of school and his untimely return home. Holden is depressed, hates everyone, exaggerates EVERYTHING (annoyingly so), and seems to have few people skills. In short, he is the perfect anti-hero and irritating enough that I did not like him one bit while reading this book.

I suppose this book speaks to the hearts of some disaffected youth, but they would have to be interested in drudging through 200 pages of dribble in order to find the voic

I am a sixth grader. I have recently read the book Artemis Fowl. It was written by Eoin Colfer. This book is about a 12 to 13 year old boy who tries to figure out the lives of Fairies and Sprites. He is a criminal mastermind. He has a buff bodyguard for a butler; Artemis calls him Butler. Butler’s sister, Julie, is a maid at Artmesis’ mansion. Artmeis lives in the mansion with his sick mother. Commander Root is the Captain of all the fairies. Holly Short is the best trained fairy of them all. Sprites are basically the same thing as fairies. Sprites and Fairies normally die at around the same age, 2500 years. Throughout this book, they mainly just introduce the main characters. Artmeis tries to catch Holly Short to find out information about important fairy files. He does catch Holly Short and finds out a lot more about fairies. Root almost fired Holly Short for telling Artmeis about the important information about the fairy files. Artmeis took Holly’s fairy dust. Little did he know, that particular dust was not just ordinary dust. This was “fairy magic” dust. The bottle that contains the magic, said that the dust could heal human beings. Artemis began thinking that this magic dust might be able to heal his sick mother…

I bought this vacuum as a replacement to my old one. I didn’t want to spend much but I really wanted power and after doing my research I noticed that the stand-up bagged vacuums were still the ones with the most suction. At first I didn’t expect much out of this inexpensive vacuum, BOY WAS I WRONG! This machine has plenty of power and that doesn’t go away by adding the extra tools it has. This vacuum is a steal for its powerful punch. Buy this, you WONT regret it!
