Done With Catcher

I was kind of disappointed when I finished the book. Just when I thought something major was going to happen in the plot, nothing did. Holden went home and talked to Phoebe, then went to his perverted teacher's house to spend the night. He woke up with the guy petting his head, and ran out of the apartment. That was kind of funny, but I didn't see the point of having that happen. 
Then Holden tells Phoebe he's going to leave and move out west, and upsets her when he says she can't ago. Again, he doesn't actually go, and the book ends with Holden watching Phoebe on a carrousel. Holden then tells you he's not going to tell you about anything else. If a book is going to be about a character telling a story, the story should at least be exciting or funny or something. I felt like Holden just had an average story with very few exciting parts, and it didn't help that Holden always seemed bored also. It was a decent book overall.

I'm glad you told me this before I finished the book. I was somewhat enjoying, but it sounds like the end is really bad. I will definitely remember that when I am reading. I don't see why the book includes a very weird scene (this one scene may be why it is a banned book!), where a person is petting someone else. The entire book just seems very weird to me!

hello ''ibloghard'',
i have to agree that the part where holden wakes up to his teacher petting his head it was rather funny but very awkward. however, i think you are grading this novel rather harshly since i did really enjoy it. have some heart.
god is love,
