The Catcher in the Rye is a really good book that takes you into the life of a young man who doesn't really know what to do with himself. He has a very negative attitude on life, but it's interesting when he finally discovers what it is he wants to do.

The Catcher in the Rye is about Holden Caulfield, a normal teenage boy who runs away from his boarding school. The book is from his perspective, and he has a dry sense of humor on the struggles of becoming an adult. It's easy to relate to because it deals with wanting to be treated as an adult but with the advantages of being a child. If you've read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, you'll find this book to be similar.
