The Catcher in the Rye is a verbose and rather mundane monologue. The main character, Holden Caufield, is an immature 17-year-old of average intelligence, and we’re trapped listening to his inner ramblings for the entire book. He is constantly complaining, and the other characters in the book he interacts with dislike him for the most part.
The plot arc is just as mundane:
- To Holden, everything is either depressing or corny.
- He is kicked out of school for not applying himself.
- He blames the school for being ‘full of phonies’ (p.90) for his failure.
- He goes to New York for a few days.
- He calls a bunch of people who either don’t want to hang out with him or regret it later.
- He goes home and hangs out with his sister.
Maybe this is stereotyping, but to me, depressed kids are usually highly intelligent. I kind of expected Holden to at least making interesting observations about the world around him.
Maybe this book was a classic in another era. To me, The Catcher in the Rye is utterly forgettable. Holden’s inner struggle to find his place, his way, or his meaning in the world, while noble, is uninteresting.

Twilight Softcover with CD
I purchased this based on a glowing recommendation by Consumer Reports and the many good recommendations here on Amazon. For the first month, it possessed an extreme amount of suction and I felt very pleased with my purchase. However, after approximately one month it started losing suction power. I owned it for a little less than one year before it stopped working entirely. Yes, it is inexpensive but I would rather pay slightly more money and have a better-made vacuum that will last more than one year and will not blow dust out while I vacuum.
Pros: inexpensive, great suction power during the first month
Cons: cheaply-made, belt constantly broke, slightly noisy, could not vacuum bare floors, cord location was inconvenient and I always had to hold the cord while vacuuming, unable to vacuum under furniture, often blew out dust so the floor was never completely clean, attachment holders did not secure them and they constantly fell off while the vacuum was in use, when using attachments it did not pick up pet hair from furniture
USA PROFESSOR 5 CD
I was very impressed with this machine. It did a really good job cleaning a carpet that hadn’t been cleaned for I don’t know how long. Others said that they had a problem with leakage, but I didn’t encounter it. When I ran out of the cleaning solution, I used Arm & Hammer w/oxy and seemed to work just as well and a lot cheaper. My only problem was with putting the screws in the handle, because the directions were not very clear.
