Book Review- the Catcher in the Rye

It seems like most people had to read this book sometime in school, However it was one that i was never assigned. So i decided to read it now. To be honest I'm not exactly sure what all the hype is about. I enjoyed it and am glad that i read it, but mostly for the fact that if it ever comes up in a conversation i will now be able to talk about it.

The book was about a teenage boy "Holden" who gets kicked out of boarding school, so before he goes home he spends a few days in NYC spending all his money on drinks, prostitutes, taxi rides, and food all while trying to figure out what he is going to do.

I think i would give this book a 6.5 out of 10.
