How I did it: I took 3 semesters of college Spanish and then decided to practice talking with a native speaker. A friend at the library gave me the number of a Mexican man who wanted help with English, so we started meeting Monday-Thursday for 1-2 hours per day. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Over winter break, I decided I wanted to read it, so I made time to do so. Unfortunately, I didn't finish over break and I had to return the book to the library. However, I did download a pdf of an english translation and that's how I finished it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I checked out the "Books on CD" from the library and ripped it onto my iPod. From there, I just listened to it whenever I had menial work like shoveling or during long car rides. 15 minutes here and 20 minutes here really adds up. Read how I did it…
It grew on me. I normally don’t like the “wacky characters” formula, but this is probably the best that the formula can offer. Plotting was pretty wild and was kinda contrived in coming together, but it was fascinating watching so many people weave in and out of each others’ lives. Overall, pretty solid.
It was pretty depressing, but well-written. Holden’s voice is well-crafted and well-developed. The plot was pretty decent and had some good images/symbols. Overall pretty good. Would probably really appeal to someone like Holden, who is kinda maladjusted and is angry at the world.
