The Great Gatsby

<< < (3/19) > >>

audacity:
Haha, it's not that the Catcher in the Rye was a bad book, per se.
I just didn't like Salinger's writing style. I felt it could have been written by anybody, and didn't deserve the praise it received.
The story-line itself had potential, but it fell short, in my opinion.
The Great Gatsby is not as deep as Catcher, but the writing is a thousand times better if you ask me, and that made it all the more enjoyable.
Plus, I enjoy pretentious pieces of crap (;

I'm going to have to re-read all of my posts several times now to make sure I'm talking about the right book =x

Lines:
The Catcher in the Rye is overrated. When I read it in high school everyone loved it, but I honestly didn't. It was ok, but I didn't see why so many people thought it was awesome. The Great Gatsby, however, was pretty good.

Johnny C:
The Great Gatsby and The Catcher In The Rye are fantastically realized, brilliantly written works. If you don't like them, go back every five years and try again until you do.

audacity:
I don't know if I could ever learn to love Catcher in the Rye, as a whole. Maybe certain scenes.

Joseph:
See, I really love The Catcher In The Rye.
