Coming of age story. (2 more)
20th century classic read.
It's written as a narrative from the main character 'Holden Caulfield', which gives it interest.
I first read this book over 30 years ago! Its a tale of a depressed teenage boy, flunking another school, cynical and disliking of most of society!

Great book for upper elementary, middle school aged kids. My fourth graders absolutely loved it. They would beg me to read just one more page every day. In fact, they enjoyed it so much they cajoled me in to buying the next 2 books! Just started the second installment today.

Again. I love it.
I watched film in my early years of high school not knowing it was based on a book.
So, now I am going to read the book and I am scared it won't be the same as the film, but will be even better! Fingers crossed ?

Candide still makes me laugh every time I re-read it. Optimism is the theme, and it persists, often hilariously throughout the book. The satire is spot on, and relevant to today. It's definitely the best book I've ever been assigned to read multiple times throughout high school and university.

I didn’t get into this one quite as fast as others, got a little tired of the high school drama, but once the mysteries picked up I was right back into it. I really love this series and I’m sad that it’s over, but I was satisfied by the ending.

I think I would have to read this book again as I don't think i have given it a very fair response. I was made to read this in school for english class, because of this i never really appreciated it and so one day I will come back to it.

Beastars, Volume 1 was interesting. I liked it, but am not sure how the story will progress. It's a manga about animal students in a boarding school, and what happens when a tragedy strikes. The animal students are divided into herbivores and carnivores, so there are immediate issues at stake.
