Trashcanman
The Catcher in the Rye | J.D. Salinger

1) I went to Catholic schools K-12 and I was an average student. I did better in college and graduated summa cum laude from Colorado State University.

2) I tagged my favorite book and I am wondering if it counts because Holden technically just got kicked out of high school.

The time and setting were done perfectly. The writing was truly outstanding in getting us in the protagonisist pov. In her under-developed mind, that naturally makes a short-sighted sense of things, you still root for her and her quest. You understand the feelings of each character even when you don't agree with them.

⭐️3.75/5
Five years late to the craze for this book, but I can see why it was popular. Easy to read while dealing with big subjects such as grief, trauma, and our world‘s strange obsession with tragedy. Tear jerking, thoughtful, and not utterly sad, this was a good read. Needs TW when recommending but I‘ll read more of her work!

ErikasMindfulShelf I liked the show better than the book. 1w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A must read, Amor Towles‘ voice is always a joy for me. Set in 1950s with main characters from small town Nebraska (which as a girl from small town Nebraska I appreciate the way he accurately was able to capture this), this layered story looks at right and wrong, the meaning of legacy, and friendship in ways not always expected. Unreliable narrations with multiple POV with distinct voices, definite rec for anyone who enjoys lit fic.

It‘s not until near the end of the book that we learn the significance of the title, and it‘s a little disappointing, to be honest. Also, I think the way the author ended the novel is what made me rate it only 4 stars. It was quite abrupt and a bit of a let down and mood breaker. But this was a charming coming of age novel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
