For my classic novel that I was supposed to read, I picked The Catcher in the Rye. I enjoyed the book, which is unusual for me when I read books. Its even rarer for me to enjoy older books. I think the reason I liked it is because it came from the point of view of somebody who actually acts likes somebody our age.
The Catcher in the Rye is a story about a guy that was going to a prep school in Pennsylvania. The story takes us on his journey to New York. It's a coming of age story, but I really didn't like the book because of the story. I honestly only liked the book because it always told what the main character was thinking in detail. Whether it be about Preps, Gays, Girls, or any other subject, it always explained exactly what the guy was thinking. You couldn't tell that it was an old guy writing the book. I really liked that. The main character used a cuss word in probably 99 percent of his sentences, but that doesn't bother me because you know that's what he was really thinking.
I really enjoyed this book, which came as a big surprise thinking it would be a boring classic novel. Maybe in the future I will give classic novels more of a chance.
