Title says it all… and that’s what 60% of the book is about.
The vampire is handsome.
And just in case we didn’t mention it, the vampire is handsome.

Oh… let’s throw in some action at the end to kinda-sorta have a story…
Please don’t hate me, I read the book, I just didn’t like it so much.
In an ironic twist, the movie was better.
Let There Be Light

Catcher in the Rye has many relevant meanings for the teenagers of today. Holden Caufield’s confusions and frustrations are those of most teenagers who want to connect with other people and belong to a certain social quota. J.D Salinger presents to us a novel full of symbolism, imagery, and adolescent complexity that fufills it’s overall goals of giving us a glimpse into the life and psyche of a troubled and disturbed teenager who tries making connections with people he doesn’t know ending up in, as mean as this may sound, humorous failed attempts. The overall theme in this novel doesn’t comply any moral as did Ovid’s fables back in ancient Greece. Catcher in the Rye tends to be more interpretive in that manner. Holden’s inability to truly connect with people is due to his inability to immature and let go of pain.
“People never notice anything” (Pg 9). It’s in this quote that we really see what type of person Holden really is. Nobody around Holden seems to understand him, seems to understand his angers and confusions. Everyone is just as about as “phony as he is”. It’s in these beginning chapters we notice that something is wrong with Holden. something that doesn’t quite match up. He’s a white male with well-off parents that can afford to send him off to boarding school and he purposefully flunks out by not even attempting to study. It’s not until later on in the novel that we learn of James Castle and his brother Allie that there is a reason for this rebellion and personal wall that he has erected for himself. It’s how Holden breaks this wall that makes this book powerful and a very compelling and humorous read.

It’s rare that I am surprised and astounded by the performance of a product. I’ve used a Ultimate Touch Instant Mat & Tangle Remover and it’s like for a long time on my cats. I have a fairly long haired cat that doesn’t shed excessively, but does shed. I can spend a 15 minutes working over my cat with the aforementioned and get an amount of fur equal to maybe 5 seconds with the FURminator.

I can see why they say it helps to reduce shedding. My cat enjoyed being groomed with this, for a while. Then he started nipping at me as if to say “I’ve had enough of this”. By that time (about 10 minutes) I’d gotten perhaps 2 or 3 heaping handfuls of loose fur off of him. He looks fine, and his coat feels great.

I will never use another cat brush again. There is no need to find a better product, and every product I’ve tried thus far has been vastly inferior to this one. The small size is just fine for a cat-sized animal.

Highest rating; best of breed.

I was not impressed with the book. Yes, it is intriguing and well-written. But the “wisdom” is what I would expect an articulate, well-versed liberal arts professor to say. So much of it is what we want to hear, what we want to believe. I felt like Neale created a God that placates people, tells them what they want to hear, tells of the wisdom of this age. I have read and studied several religious texts, from the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, etc. In my studies I came to know that the Bible holds the truth of God – but this is a realization for all of us to have individually with God. I actually picked up CwG before I came to believe in the Bible – and I put it down after I read it thinking that the book was filled with man’s wisdom. I had a course in college that taught the same thing. I was seeking God’s true wisdom and studied Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.

This book is nothing new, and tells people what they want to hear – not the truth of things. I don’t think God was the one moving Neale’s pen, I believe it was Neale’s own thoughts and wisdom moving his pen.

So, you can choose to listen to God’s truth or Neale’s truth. But this book is clearly full of Neale’s truth. The book takes basic modern-day mysticism tenets and attributes them to God moving Neale’s pen so Neale can enlighten the world.
