What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.

Letter to J.D Salinger

Dear J.D Salinger:

Today I wanted to talk about “Catcher In The Rye”, a book written by you. First I am going to start by saying that the book is really interesting to read but very repetitive since you tell every little detail that goes through Holden’s head. Even though this has to do because of the style of writing, I did not like that aspect of the book. Secondly, I personally think as a teenager that many adolescents are able to relate with the themes and I think they can relate because the book abroads themes such as rebellion, identity and independence, and well other secondary themes such as jealousy, loneliness and so on.

I would recommend your book because it is very appealing and relatable. One thing to remember is that people should read “The Catcher In The Rye” before being an adult otherwise they will have the urge to punish Holden for his unintelligent actions.

Sincerely,

Sofia.

Dear J.D Salinger,

Your book is absolutely amazing, the idea you have to write about knowing yourself and all the difficulties that are in life, I actually think that the characters of the book are kind of unlikeable, besides that, in my humble opinion, The Catcher in the Rye is a really enjoyable book. Thanks for writing this book, I'm sure many people feel identified with it, and it might even help them in similar situations. Hugs

Your bro, Franco Maraldi.

I beg your pardon. I love you very much. I’m nuts about you. I know it. I could love you all my life.

I just hope that one day- preferably when we’re both blind drunk- we can talk about it.

I am always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.

I don’t care if it’s a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it.
