A novel relevant to teens today and one that will be relevant for years to come is The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. Taking place in the 1950s, the novel follows the narrator, seventeen-year-old Holden Caulfield, as he fails out of yet another prep school during his struggle to find his place in this world of “phonies.” He is stuck between childhood and adulthood, unable to make the transition, and fearing that he too will become one of these “phonies.” Through Holden and his predicament, Salinger portrays the theme of the loss of childhood innocence and fear of growing up that many teens experience every day.
As Holden encounters difficulties with roommates, relatives, and relationships, teenage readers can connect to his problems and understand his feelings and desire to remain young. He shares the confusions of sex, love, and overall morality, unable to understand what is right. Although some argue that the language of the novel is too harsh, profane, and perhaps unnecessary; it is through this tone that young readers relate. This abrasive dialogue helps to show that Holden is not some perfect prep school kid but an everyday teen who makes mistakes and fears what the future may hold. At first he seems to have a tough and almost rebel-like exterior, but as readers learn of his close relationship to his little sister Phoebe and the pain he feels concerning the death of his brother, it becomes evident that underneath the façade is a caring and loving heart.
A truly timeless work of literature, Holden and his dilemmas are a model for many. Highly recommended, Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye tackles the quandary that all teens face as they transition into adulthood, encouraging them to be true to themselves and avoid becoming just another “phony” of today’s world.

First, it arrived early, in good shape.

I found this game console very interesting, and a lot of fun. It came with the “Wii Sports” game. I highly recommend to make sure this game comes with it if you purchase a game console. The sports game by itself sell’s for around $50.00, So getting it makes this package a fare deal.

It gets used everyday, keeps a record of what you’ve done and estimates your age “according” to your performance at a random collection of activity’s that it picks out for you to do. Get a few people together and it can really be a lot of fun. Some of my friends have bought one since they played ours.

It has everything built in to connect to your wireless internet. It found it and connected without any problems, very easy, and nothing extra to buy. Has it’s own weather and news channels (and of course shopping channel). Now we send e-mail and pictures to our friends and family using the Wii. And it show’s up on their Wii.
One thing, you can only play certain games on the internet against others, and there aren’t that many of them yet.. That’s about the only little negative thing I can think of… and I’m sure there will be more “internet play” games coming out.
I recommend this game, for everyone, children and adults. It’s an active game, not just pushing buttons.

I needed a scale that was accurate and would fit into a relatively small space. After a good many abortive attempts, I got the EatSmart Precision Digital Scale and I’m happy as a clam. It is everything I wanted; small, accurate and efficient with a good size read out. The price was good and it came very quickly. I hope it lasts as long as I do.

The is one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I have already loaned it out to a friend to read, and it was recommended to me. Thank goodness the author has taken the time and effort to bring the role of the Negro maid to the attention of us all.

I loved my kindle 2. I have ordered alot of books and loved reading off the device. However, I had to have a replacement kindle sent to me since the first one broke approx 5 months after recieveing it. And Now 3 months after that my 2nd kindle 2 broke. I am now asking for a refund and will order the kindle 3 and hopefully the issues will not be the same.
Amazon was helpful to me in this department and did offer to send another replacement. Hopefully they will quickly refund the money as well and I can move on to the kindle 3

I never write reviews, but when I saw how many five stars there were in comparison to one stars, I had to support those fellow readers who disliked this book as much as me. I was hooked by the time period and the circus idea, and I was looking forward to being drawn into that world, but the author did not deliver on either of those points at all. I felt like she created a pretty shabby structure for her novel by throwing a bunch of “well researched” pieces of information together. She then attempted to flesh in a story around this rickety structure with hollow, card-board, characters. The voice of young Jacob is meant to carry us through the story of the past, but I felt nothing for him or anyone else in the story. The relationships were so very empty, there were no reasons for anyone to have any connection to anybody else. I was not interested or invested in a single character. I kept reading in the hope that something would change, but it never did. It’s really too bad when an idea that has such potential turns out be such a disappointment. Why on earth so many raved about this book is beyond me. Maybe it’s the same reason crappy movies do so well at the box office…the general public have no clue about what’s really worthy of our time, attention, and praise.

I had to read this book in high school. Oh my, it was so scandalous back then. I wanted a copy after the author passed away and reread the book 40 years after the first time. How our morals have changed. Still an awesome book. R.I.P. J.D.
