**‘Everything everybody does is so—I don’t know—not *wrong* , or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and—sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you’re conforming just as much only in a different way.’** First published in *The New Yorker* as two sequential stories, ‘Franny’ and ‘Zooey’ offer a dual portrait of the two youngest members of J. D. Salinger’s fictional Glass family. Franny Glass is a pretty, effervescent college student on a date with her intellectually confident boyfriend, Lane. They appear to be the perfect couple, but as they struggle to communicate with each other about the things they really care about, slowly their true feelings come to the surface. The second story in this book, ‘Zooey’, plunges us into the world of her ethereal, sophisticated family. When Franny’s emotional and spiritual doubts reach new heights, her older brother Zooey, a misanthropic former child genius, offers her consolation and brotherly advice. Written in Salinger’s typically irreverent style, these two stories offer a touching snapshot of the distraught mindset of early adulthood and are full of the insightful emotional observations and witty turns of phrase that have helped make Salinger’s reputation what it is today.

Anthem a strange strict world that made me confused. A world that had rules that had rules that nobody would ever think of to live in. No thinking about certain things? Well what I was thinking is that this was a bad book to me. This book was boring and not interesting until the very very end, which it wasnt even that interesting. This book was a story that had no plot to it, no main story to it really. As I read this book I gave it many chances to make a turn and have a twist. Near the end it showed itself a bit more than the rest of the book but still wasn’t a good book for me. After I read this book I thought of it as a kids book but stretched out with more words and more meaning. Another thought I had while reading the book Anthem, was I found a mini theme. I thought of this book trying to tell you to be yourself and not who other people want you to be. I thought of this when they branched out and started it for themselves and started being independent and living a real life as what they want. If I were to rate this book I would rate it a five out of ten. I’m rating it a five out of ten because of the main story itself. I get where the author was going with the story, I just felt like so much more could have happened. I felt like it could have kept going with more story to it and made the story more eventful. I was partially disappointed, when I started reading this book I thought I was going to be on the edge of my seat reading this book but not much happened at all. I’m not the biggest reading fan at all, but I can enjoy a book if it’s a good book. This book, if I’m being honest, just had a story that was making me yawn most of the book. I think the author did good with the structure with the sentences and his word choice. I think he worded the book well but just not the story itself if that makes sense? I looked up if there was a sequel following Anthem and there is! If I do end up reading that book I really hope it has a good plot to it with a story that makes me glad I read the first book. I would not recommend this book just if you don’t want to waste your time reading a boring book that will put you to sleep in a few minutes. A lot of the time I would need to re-read pages or sometimes chapters because it just didn’t make sense half the time. If you just don’t like reading in general, I would not recommend this book just because its boring. If you do like reading, I wouldn’t particularly recommend it, but if you want to read it, go at it!
