Goodbye, Mr Salinger
Posted on | January 31, 2010 | No Comments
In a brief, pointless and probably offensive tribute to the recently passed J D Salinger, I present you with my review of Catcher In The Rye, first published some years ago on the now sadly extinct Lorne Book Club blog.
Boy, this book just killed me. I really mean it. It’s all about this poor bastard, Holden Caulfield. He has a really crummy time after he gets kicked out of his goddamn school. He goes to New York and meets all these phoneys.
I sorta felt sorry for that kid. Boy, he really does have a crummy time and all. He wears this crazy hunting hat. I think my old uncle had a hat just like it or something. Whatever.
Anyway, old Salinger kinda makes you think. He really does. Him and his crazy hero. Not that Holden is a goddamn hero, really. He’s just some crummy kid. That poor bastard.
I must’ve read this goddamn book in about five hours straight. I’m not kidding. Seeing all the crummy stuff that happened to that poor sonuvubitch, boy, it made me blue as hell. I know it’s just a crazy book and all but I hope he turns out ok. I hate seeing some sappy bastard all messed up like that.
I could tell you more but I don’t feel like going into it. All that phoney review crap sure bores the hell outta me. Just read the goddamn book, why dontcha? Or not. Who even cares.
