The height of casualness.

Story:

The book has given me pains all over. The whole soul of this book by J.D.Salinger is a boy who is YELLOW as a coward, GREEN in his sex life and RED with phonies....


This is story of a boy when he got kicked out off the school for the fourth time! It goes on to explain his casual attitude towards life. This casual attitude is mirrored in the type of words he uses in the book like ....killed me, ...stuff like that,...and all ! You tend to get annoyed by repetition of these words throughout the book.


The guy is a madman really, who loathes almost everybody but for his little sister and brother D.B.


He keeps on getting funny ideas like getting shot in the gut or plans to run away from house and act dumb and mute guy. Funny!!!!


The only good thing about the book is that it sounds interesting in first fifty pages or so and you keep wondering that perhaps some activity will take place...apart from his funny dreams that is..but alas...


A very sad description indeed and a total waste of time.
