Shoplifter's biggest strength is its ability to accurately reflect the grayness of the parts of society that we would prefer to think of as black and white.

"I'm so drawn to Salinger's view of society back then, and to his sarcasm. I read Catcher in the Rye first, then [Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour]. I don't think there's ever been anything like these characters in American literature."

"The main character of this novel is an adult man who lives with his mother, and who fancies himself too intelligent to participate in mainstream society or to hold down a normal job. Don’t we all have relatives like this? Well, I do!"

This dystopian novel tells of the world completed controlled by its government. People are constantly watched and analysed. It's scary how accurate this book is when looking at society now.
Powerful book that is still relevant and needs to be read by everyone.
