The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger Paperback

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is what this book’s about and all that stuff. Well, it’s about this kid named Holden Caulfield. He’s been kicked out of every prep school you can think of, but that’s not even the half of it. He’s fed up with the phonies of the world, and he’s looking for something real.

Holden’s on this aimless journey through New York City, meeting all sorts of people—some good, some crummy—and along the way, he’s trying to figure out where he belongs in a world that’s lost its mind.

This isn’t your typical coming-of-age story; it’s raw, honest, and, at times, pretty funny. It’ll make you feel things, whether you like it or not. And if you think about it, maybe we’re all just trying to be the catcher in the rye, keeping the innocent from falling off the edge. Maybe.

This paperback edition is just the thing for those who want to carry around a piece of rebellion, confusion, and heart. You’ll want to keep it close—like an old friend who tells you the truth, whether you’re ready for it or not.
