My opinion about Salinger's novel 'The Catcher in the Rye' on a scale of 1-5 is a 3. I would give it a three because it was good but it wasn't that good nor was it awful. There was constant depression the character went through which made me think,'why is he even out there in the world when he can be some where else where he can get help?'. Yet, it was good to let us know he was feeling this way because teen's can relate to these emotions and even find it more interesting.
