Franny and Zooey
Review:
I am done with the first section of the book (Franny). I was confused but pleased that the language is more modern. I don’t know why, but when I read about Franny being nervous, I thought she was gay. But she is not. I am not sure if she is crazy or whether I am just taking the book too literally, but she does not seem to be doing well. There is some religion in it, but it is not straight on Christianity which I like. It seems like it should be an exciting push and pull of religion. I am excited to read Zooey’s part next. I really hope the two stories connect in some way. I think I will really like this book. I am halfway through Zooey’s section, and I had no idea he was a boy. He is very annoying and not nice to his mom at all. He was calling her fat bad mean names, which were very sad. He is just about to talk to Franny about religion and stuff, which I think would be good. I like Franny better, and I wish there was more from her perspective. I am excited to see where the books goes next. I actually really liked the ending to this book; it was very interesting. I liked that Zooey helped Franny find her own opinion and gave some of his own. Zooey definitely grew on me, though I still think he was annoying. My favorite part of the book was when he called her from a phone inside the house. I don’t know why I found that so funny. I did not mind religion in this book because it talked more about religion's history and philosophy. Overall a good book, and I will definitely read catcher and the rye.
