Utile per un’ulteriore ricerca
Molto utile come il materiale di approfondimento: dalla contestualizzazione del romanzo (situazione socio-culturale degli USA postbellici) fino ai saggi di interpretazione dell’opera da vari punti di vista.

I ordered this over a wireless device and did not realize that it was not the novel AND companion notes. After skimming this I had no novel and blown 15 Bucks. On the PC monitor I can see now why I should have known that this was not the novel also. Just word to the Ipod people.
William Thomas –
On my kindle it appears that what I ordered was the book Catcher in the Rye but it turns out to be simply a review of this book not the book. It is hard to read the small print indicatiog a review. Thia is not what I wanted and a waste of money.
Matt Nida –
I also accidently bought this while intending to purchase the book. It is/was poorly labeled on the web site. The previous reviewer’s response was quite rude.BTW, this book was not worth what I paid for it.
