This is truly a polarizing book. When you read it, you will either love it, or hate it. I have yet to meet anyone on middle grounds with it. A friend and I actually avoid talking about it because we disagree so much about it.

I enjoyed the book for the first chapter or so before repetition of the line “[x] depressed me” began to annoy me to no end. I simply could not like Holden, and this is not a book where you can dislike the main character but still enjoy the story.

Having read it for an assignment and then having to write an essay, I do appreciate the meaning behind the book. I appreciate and understand how we hate the characteristics in others that most reflect upon ourselves and how desperately one holds on to childhood. I simply could not enjoy the story as much as I liked the meaning behind it.

We had this vacuum for two months and it stopped working. Can’t wait to take it apart to see what is wrong.

We had pretty strict requirements when shopping for a new baby gate. It had to be attractive, have a gate to walk through, be tall enough the dogs couldn’t easily jump over it, and wide enough to fit across a w i d e hallway. This gate met ALL of our requirements, and after lots of searching, it seemed to be the only one on the market that did!
We don’t have kids, but 3 dogs (ranging from a 15 lb terrier to a 65 lb lab) and wanted to protect wood floors in our front room and keep guests from being greeted by the rambunctious mutts. It looks expensive, feels sturdy, and is well worth the investment.

To add to the millions of reviews on CITR…

This is my absolute favorite book of all time. I didn’t care for it much in high school until I had a friend attempt to explain the symbolism and whatnot in the book. It made me really have an appreciation for literature, in general, so much so that I am now majoring in English with a focus on creative writing. This book helped to make me understand that there are hidden meanings behind the words, and opened up a world of new love for me that I didn’t know existed. My copy is now torn and ragged, yet I continue to read it, year after year. An absolute classic.

Full of quick action, witty humor and excellent writing Colfer’s tale is a phenomenon of modern novels. Read it and you won’t be dissapointed.

Bought one for Christmas. Love it! Don’t really have anything negative to say…except I wish the games weren’t so expensive.

Without question this is a 5 star product. It was easy to put together, easy to operate, and very light weight. The 12 amp power is a real plus. My 7 year old carpet looks like new! I had been cleaning it with a Dirt Devil carpet cleaner, but it had lost its mogo :0) I saw this amazing price on Amazon–which no one else could beat (not to mention free shipping), and I thought I would give it a try. So glad I did–the water in the tank was BLACK….thanks to our sweet dog Stella. Anyway, the bottom line is–you will not be disappointed.

Maybe this story has simply become dated over the years because it didn’t have the impact on me that I expected. This certainly isn’t on the level of Huck Finn, To Kill A Mockingbird, Life of Pi, nor even The Tale Of Depereaux, but it is different than anything else I’ve read. Perhaps the appeal of this book is that it’s written from the perspective of a teenager, in stylized teenaged writing, about teenaged issues. This could be one of those books that appeals more to a specific audience of those going through puberty than it does to the general reader. Still, Holden Caulfield seems like more of a whiner than a cynical adolescent to me.

Reading this book is like being stuck in an elevator with a sixteen year old boy for the duration. It might make for a good psychological study of that particular insanity that teenagers go through as their brains develop in the presence of an overdose of hormones, but as a story it lacks a plot. This is about a kid wandering aimlessly through his life, such as it is, both literally and existentially. It could theoretically give aid and comfort to those teens in a similar situation, but I can’t imagine it helping me much when I was that age. The main character is supposed to be a young radical, smoking and drinking despite being underage, but it all seems much too tame in these modern times.

I suppose that the moral of the story is supposed to be that everyone undergoes these psychotic teenage episodes, even the preppies. However, this point is made in a monotonous, rather repetitious and boring manner as our young angster wanders about NYC looking to rutt, having just been kicked out of yet another fancy boarding school. If the rich kids have these same problems then maybe we should all stop feeling sorry for ourselves and think about poor Richard Cory. It’s all just a little too ham-handed for me and it really bothers those kids who really were cool and all to have to listen to those who just think they are. Sometim

Great product with wonderful controls. My old slow cooker kept cooking the food even though it was supposed to be on warm only! My only ‘complaint’ is that I wish it were a little smaller in size. 7 quarts is VERY large. Great for soups but too big for many things I want to do and it simply takes up alot of storage space in my kitchen
