I greatly enjoyed reading The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I found myself not wanting to put the novel down once I began reading it. I found that you never knew what was going to happen next in the novel. It was also a very relatable novel to what point we are at in our lives. The Catcher in the Rye was a coming of age novel and its perfect for us to be reading right now. The fact that Holden is fighting to stay in his childhood even though he is quickly becoming an adult. At this point in our lives, we are breaking away from our childhood. We are "starting up the steps" (Salinger, 268) to a new part into our lives. We are making decisions now that are going to influence the rest of our lives. For example, we are figuring out where to go to college and what we are going to do for the rest of our lives. Just as Holden must embrace his life as an adult, so must we.
