The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

This is one I never had to read while I was in school. I borrowed it from a friend over the weekend because I had always heard such great things about it. Now I wonder if the people I heard rave about it were drunk. Or maybe I am just not intellectual enough to understand it. I read it in one day, but I still don't know what the whole point was. I can understand why it was banned and caused such a hoopla at the time it came out, but it was kind of pointless in my opinion. 2 stars out of 5
