Catcher: First Post
When I first began to read "The Catcher and The Rye" I was surprisingly intrigued. I thought because of the boring cover, that this would be a boring book. Yet, I have heard about this novel for years and how amazing it is. Even though I am only about 3 chapters into this novel, and there I really have no idea where it is going.. I have a feeling I will enjoy this book. Holden, the main character, has just gotten kicked out of Pency, an "amazing" private school. He pretty much just doesn't care about his life or where he is going in it, but his teachers try and get the most that they can out of him. I am really interested to see how Holden lives his life and what happens to him when he actually leaves the school. I also noticed how repetitive the book is so far. The characters repeat what they are saying constantly, as if to emphasize what is going on in the novel. I enjoy the way that this author writes his books.

I agree with Courtney. The book is very repetitive, and where I am at, the book hasn't really gotten anywhere yet. There is a lot of vulgar language, which makes the book more realistic. I believe that it will get better too, like Courtney said, as so many people loved this book.
I disagree with this post. I am on page forty and I find this novel to be extremely boring and monotonous. I believe that Holden's nonchalant attitude causes for a dull and unintriguing plot line.
