Catcher in the Rye? More Like Poop Flung from on High
(Once more, with feeling)

"Hi! Do you have a moment to learn about my lord and savior, J. D. Salinger, and his wondrous wonder of wonderment, CATCHER IN THE RYE? Here's a free copy!"
Except for the underlying theme of rebellion against authority, Catcher in the Rye offers little to warrant its nearly universal star status. It mercilessly assaults readers with melodrama, whining, and endless, pathetic attempts at cleverness. Accurately portraying its fundamental horribleness would take more words than comprised in the book itself.
