Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>This is my moms favorite book.</p>

22

<p>I did so bad on my exam...I think I got a B on it if I'm lucky...prolly a high C.</p>

23

<p>Good book. I really liked it.</p>

24

<p>I loved this book...I could actually identify with Holden...plus it was the first test I had in high school so that was pretty cool =/</p>

25

<p>i liked that book. yeah when people dont get it they dont really like the book</p>

26

<p>I understood the message behind Brave New World...but I didn't like it. I think it is possible for people to understand something, but not necessarily proclaim it as a favorite.</p>

<p>I'm sure people in my class understood the message in Beloved, but a ton of people in my class did not like that book. It is all a matter of opinion.</p>

27

<p>i love catcher in the rye</p>

28

<p>Only book I enjoy reading in high school.</p>

29

<p>Read the book twice! It's one of those books I hope ISN'T made into a movie.</p>

30

<p>This book started off with a lot of potential but just went down the tubes for me. And if you ask me, Holden is the one that is phony, he is a two-faced person 'cuz he changes his attitude for every person he encounters.</p>

31

<p>I loved this book.</p>

<p>No you didn't.</p>

<p>The Catcher in the Rye rocks. Definitely one of my favorite books in all literature. Right behind though is Catch-22, now there's a book.</p>

34

<p>catch-22 is pretty funny....i didnt identify with holden, which i suppose is why i didnt enjoy the book much. he aggravated me, with him calling everyone phonies and fakes and meanwhile, he's showing a pretty good example for what you should be by flunking school, etc. i really dont see why we should waste our life moaning about everyone else and making your own life low.</p>

35

<p>ah... i think that was kind of the point... he is completely caught up in trying to figure out if people are phonies, and he himself is an 'expert lier'...
I finished the book earlier today <3 <3</p>

36

<p>One of the few books in hs that I have read and actually enjoyed. Others are the perks of being a wall flower and night. Catch in the Rye is definitly as great as people say it is.</p>

37

<p>I found the repetition a little overbearing... I thought that maybe that element of it at least could have been done better. I esp. liked life of pi
and slaughter house 5, though I liked slapstick better...
and other books, I am often agreeable with english books - usually</p>

38

<p>Enjoyable but NOT the GREATEST book in literature by far</p>

39

<p>I heard some crazy #$!* about Salinger living as a hermit deep in the New Hampshire or Vermont woods...My class wrote a letter to him after we read the book. I wonder if he got it...</p>

<p>it was bearable. which was very good for a school book. still, didn't identify with holden too much either. i found teh death of allie to be the source of his pessimism unconvincing.</p>

<p>Brave new world is my favorite school book. no contest.
my favorite in literature would be...The Great Gatsby</p>
