The Catcher in the Rye..

I can't understand why the book was titled this but it is always difficult to understand most of titles. Reading a book is totally different from understanding the author's say. Especially in this book a really don't like it much though it was alright. Actually i see this book in list of all time top 100 Bestsellers. So i am not sure whether it was a crap.

Actually, what i wanna write is about this author, J.D Salinger, I mean he seems so confused that i feel myself in his shoes. This is a story about a 16 year old boy, how he is axed from school and he just run away from there trying to figure what to do. Whole story makes you feel how he had to live in this all evil and selfish world and he wasn't ready to do that.

Language and expression used are in close consensus with a teenager thinking. All in all, it is a very well told story. It's just that it just goes on and in the end you may feel like cheated cause no mystery, no twist, no turns, it just ends gracefully.
Truth is i really liked book when i was reading it's just that it finishes so smoothly that i felt like left in between. what is shown in whole book is a most common fact which many of us may not understand-
We love and hate same person, what matters is what we see most.

We love our children but how we feel like killing them when they throw a tantrum.

We may hate are roommates but we miss them afterwards.

We hate our parents not allowing us for late night outs, and when miles away from them we wish to be at home.
