I appreciated it. It was a quick read. I guess I understood why some people would have enjoyed it. But I didn't really like it. Maybe it's partially because I was well out of my angsty teens by the time I read it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-17255468037891727752010-10-12T23:36:47.413-04:002010-10-12T23:36:47.413-04:00I didn't read this book till I was an adult an...I didn't read this book till I was an adult and I hated it. I read it because I was teaching troubled youth in a boarding school and it was a favorite of almost every boy there. So even though I didn't like it, I knew it had worth if it could get boys like that to enjoy reading. It really just wasn't for me.Emileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966534389896544457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-81864793920414373932010-10-12T20:03:04.896-04:002010-10-12T20:03:04.896-04:00This one's on my 120 list.

I hear it's really good? <br /><br />I have no idea what it's about, but I kind of like not knowing until I open the book. :-)*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-47493820765960434062010-10-11T21:07:18.513-04:002010-10-11T21:07:18.513-04:00I was one who disliked it upon rereading, but I li...I was one who disliked it upon rereading, but I liked it the first two times I read it (ages 16 and 20).Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-30487718607014817732010-10-11T15:57:37.961-04:002010-10-11T15:57:37.961-04:00I can definitely see not loving this if I re-read ...I can definitely see not loving this if I re-read it when I'm older. I think that part of its allure is that adults don't "understand" what he's going through. I guess I'll have to see in a decade or so. <br />I would highly recommend both Franny and Zooey and Salinger's Nine Stories. I loved both books even more than Catcher.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-41496680499181697902010-10-11T13:01:24.707-04:002010-10-11T13:01:24.707-04:00Ironically, I've read this twice - in 2001 and...Ironically, I've read this twice - in 2001 and then again back in February, and both times it made no impression on me at all.

However, you are the first person I've actually heard of enjoying it when you were in high school. I didn't read it for school, I read it because John Green was doing a sort of book group for it on YouTube. Either way, I enjoyed it.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038548350220435559noreply@blogger.com
