The Catcher in the Rye is a tortuous tale of one boy's experience of life as a teenager, transitioning from innocence to experience. It is an angst-ridden story of alienation and rebellion, loss and connection, sex and depression, authenticity and superficiality. It is in short about a coming of age.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I've never read this book but truly seems very emotional! Loved your review!
It’s an amazing book. Haven’t read it for about fifteen years. Definitely needs a reread. Thanks for sharing your apt critique!
I know the title but not the tale! Your use of words here is rather masterful. This sounds like poetry when read aloud. I think it’s the repeating “t”s and “ce” sounds… which is making me realise that words become like music in themselves when used in a certain order. My mind is on a whole new tangent of thought now, so needless to say, great work!
