Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger - review | Books | The Guardian

'I think many teenagers would be able to relate to the themes - it's a modern classic of the coming of age genre.'

The Catcher in the Rye certainly wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, however I find it an exciting and compelling read, with a gallon of brutal reality poured in along with some humour, contrasting with moments of depression.

Despite being written in 1951, I think many teenagers would be able to relate to the various themes present in the book. It is a modern classic of the coming of age genre. I find the main character, 17-year-old Holden Caulfield, absolutely intriguing and as I read the book, it was fascinating to get inside the head of the strange, rebellious protagonist.

Audiobook - another way of devouring the book!
