Chapter 1 The Catcher in the Rye

The book starts out with a guy named Holden Caulfield telling us about his life last year. Now he is in Hollywood visiting his brother D.B., who makes a living writing. His story starts out at a football game at Pencey prep in Agerstown, Penn, where he "left." He arrived at the game after a fencing meet (he's the manager) that he forgot the stuff for. He talks about how he is going to get kicked out of Pencey because he is failing 4 classes. It's close to Christmas break, so when everyone goes home, he is leaving for good. He mentions that he is about to leave the game and go to Mr. Spencer's house, his history teacher. Spencer asked him if he would visit him before he leaves, since Spencer is home sick with grippe. His wife answers the door and lets him in.

Response- The book seems good so far, once it gets more into the story I will have an opinion. Looking forward to the rest!
