1.The Catcher in the Rye by: J.D. Salinger August 04, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.90 You Save: £4.09 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.99
Boring, over rated book. I, like many others, was handed this book and told that it was a life changing read. It was an utter load of rubbish. I think the people who recommend this book are suffering with a bad case of the Emperors New Clothes.

Franny and Zooey are J D Salinger`s most perfectly realised stories about the Glass family - Franny sets the scene for her return to the family apartment in a state of nervous collapse where Buddy and his mother attempt to cajole and badger her back into rude good health. The scene in the bathroom is funny and touching by turns as mother and son jockey for position and the absent Buddy lectures by a four year old letter. Zooey fails to bully his sister into submission and adopts the persona of Buddy to argue his case - it`s not over until the fat lady sings! Mick Drake author of the comic novel All`s Well at Wellwithoute.

4.Nine Stories by: J.D. Salinger January 01, 1970
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.64 You Save: £0.35 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.98
These nine short stories will appeal to those who enjoyed the dry observations, the grim resistance to adulthood and the honesty that encapsulated The Catcher in the Rye. Far less well-known, this collection is partly a reflection on an American society coming to grips with the aftermath of war; its characters include those who have been traumatised by conflict and those who have suffered at home through the absence of loved ones. More than that, Salinger's tales try to dig a little deeper under the superficial layer of East Coast society and ask where the distinctions between madness and innocence lie in a fractured community. His adults are often verging on lunacy or have a serious character flaw, while his children are frequently precocious, wildly intelligent ... Read More:

5.The Catcher in the Rye (Modern Classics) by: J.D. Salinger 1969-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.72
Given this as a present from a friend, I felt obliged to read this alleged 'classic'. Initially, I felt burdened to read what the popular consensus deemed as a book to be remembered in the ages to come. The first few pages eased me in, with little event to give an impression of what the book would be like as a whole. But, with every paged turned, the book became so engrossing which lead to that 'don't want to eat, drink or sleep until I have finished this book' feeling. The book is short and thrives in its simplistic thought patterns of the narrator. Simplistic but actually with deep feeling and meaning. The book is simply fascinating, following the decisions and thoughts of a boy seeking fulfilment in his life away ... Read More:

6.GCSE "Catcher in the Rye" (Letts Explore) by: J D Salinger April 01, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.99 You Save: £2.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.28
This is a very simple book. Has some useful ideas for lower ability students, but at a very simple level. For students who struggle with understanding the novel there are some simple diagrams and simple explanations but if you're looking to extend your understanding at a higher level this guide is not much help.

8.Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters: Seymour, an Introduction by: J.D. Salinger August 04, 1994

If you loved 'the catcher in the rye', you will probably love 'raise high the roof beams carpenters', a similar style of story, in my opinion equally wonderful and unforgettable -- this recommendation from someone whose favorite short story is 'the laughing man'.
