Catcher in the Rye didn't impress me much. I identify with the narrator's angst, but I didn't really find a plot progression and the ending was anti-climactic. In other words, the book spoke to me, but it didn't tell me anything I don't already know.
Yeah, I kinda got the same thing when I read it, too. So many people praised the book so much but I just found it to be some guy that ranted and bitched about a lot of different stuff.
