First Impression By Anoojan

The first time I read the Catcher in the Rye I thought that the book will be boring and I was forced to read it because I had to get a good mark for English. When I read the first chapter I was thinking in my head that “Ok this book is total crap because to me it felt like the character in the story whose name is Holden Caulfield is giving me a bad felling about the whole story.”, since he was putting me in a bad mood. When I kept reading through the story I realized that the protagonist which is Holden Caulfield is someone that I can relate to someone I know in my life. Also when I continued reading it got really interesting, because Holden Caulfield breaks so many rules and he has a unique personality. His unique personality is what made me keep reading. Also what I realized is that the way the author describes the setting to me and the other readers make me keep reading. When I read the first 6 chapters it was a little boring, because there was no really good plot or problem. After I read chapter 7 to chapter 10 it started to get interesting, because the way the author describes the fight and the blood that is dropping from the character’s nose was just amazing. It scared me for a few seconds because it felt like I was there watching the fight. Now I everyday when I go home or go to school I can’t wait to read this book even when all my teachers says patience is a virtue. Also when I read this book it’s not for the group or the English mark, it’s just for my pleasure of reading.
