Mariam Asfour _ashosha — This book was free on my kindle. It is a surprisingly good story.

Han Fei kagayaku — I am tempted to write this review a la Holdenspeak, but I will resist. I read this book many years ago when I was a young teen. I loved it,as many young people did, and felt Holden was speaking for me. I was inspired to reread it after just finishing the latest biography of J.D. Salinger. As a matter of fact, while I was finishing the bio, I retrieved my old paperback and started it. Well, reader, I am happy to say that my (much) older self was just as moved as my youngerr self, perhaps in different ways. This time, I identified Salinger's voice as Holden after having learned more about him. For instance, Holden has a fictional brother named D.B. This older brother is a writer who has "sold out" in Holden's eyes by going to Hollywood to write for the movies. As all Holden fans know, this made him a "phoney". Knowing now how Salinger felt about Hollywood, this briefly mentioned character stood out a bit more. Also, after learning about Salinger's deep interest in Zen Buddhism and other Eastern religions, I noticed a thread of that in this novel. But, above all, there is the miracle of Holden Caufield. Whatever else J.D. Salinger did or did not accomplish in his years as a recluse, he gave us Holden.

Abhishek Boyjonauth _bhishekmb — I liked the book. It was intense and I got the creeps a few times. I don't know if I can go walking in the woods at night now.
