First of all, The Catcher in the Rye is a "deep" book, and is set in the New York/Pennsylvania area during either 1948 or 1949. By "deep", I mean that the book deals more with the psychological, and requires pretty heavy thinking to understand. I myself don't believe that i fully understand some of the book, but for the most part, I do.

But still, it was a good book, and will continue to be in the future.
