The Catcher in the Rye is an American novel by J. D. Salinger that was partially published in serial form from 1945–46 before being novelized in 1951. Originally intended for adults, it is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society. The novel also deals with complex issues of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, connection, sex, and depression. The main character, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon for teenage rebellion.

I wasn't forced to read this in school, and I was curious why all the psychopaths have it as their favorite book.
I still don't know.
It's a good portrait of a spoiled kid with some mental illness. After, I read some thought PTSD, and that sounds about right. It's like talking to a 17 yr old, but the message is strong. Worth reading.
Bello e molto scorrevole, ma bisogna sforzarsi di passare oltre a certe cose - traduzione in primis, che risulta spesso e volentieri forzata (proprio per come è fatto il testo originale, non perché sia una cattiva traduzione).
Secondo me potevano azzardare a metterci un titolo alternativo più vicino all'originale però, in questa nuova versione.
This book resonated much too well with me.
I read this book in Spanish and I hed the feeling I was missing something. I didn'tget why this book was so important for the person who recommended it to me. Some time ago, I bought a tattered second hand edition in English and I'll read it that way to see if it improves.
