LOL! I can't stand CATCHER either. RAGE isn't one of my favorites, but I do like it better. I never considered the reason being that there is some resolution (even if it is drastic)... hmmm... now I have to give that a bit of thought--thanks!Personally, I thought Catcher In The Rye was a horrible book. IMHO. Rage is way better. At least there's a conclusion at the end of Rage. Catcher just left me wanting.....
