The Catcher in the Rye SparkNotes Literature Guide (SparkNotes Literature Guide Series Book 21)

Spark Notes--A must for high school english (at least in my home). My son is assigned several books to read this year and this is one of them. I have read this actual book, but it was a long time ago. I read the Spark Notes and use them to make sure that my son is reading the book and that he comprehends it on the appropriate level. They allow me to discuss required readings with my son. I could read the actual book again, but I have already done my time way back in my high school and college days, and now it is his turn.

Whether Cliff Notes or Sparknotes, both are extremely helpful as a supplement. You still have to read the book. When I read the book in my high school days, I didn't fully see the unwritten and subtle meanings expressed by the character's actions or quirky personalities. Now, rereading the book, and using SparkNotes gives me more insight.

This is a great tool to use after reading the book you’re researching to get a clearer understanding of the author’s message. Also great for debate prep.

My sister thought this was useful as a resource to help her understand the novel better!

Bought for my granddaughter it is a tremendous help gives a better understanding of the story

Really helpful for a kid not used to analyzing literature. Best used AFTER you actually read the book to deepen your thinking.

Though i still didn't read if you r an exact salinger passionate you better read it.

I just want to read the book “the catcher in the rye”not just stories about the book!!!
