Overall book review

I would have never picked up these three books to read just for leisure. The books I tend to like the most are never the ones I read in school. But, compared to other books i have had to read for school these ones were pretty good. At least I could understand them all and they were written in old English. But, I really did not like The Old Man and the Sea. For being the shortest book it took me the longest to read because I never wanted to read it because it was so boring. The other two were pretty decent, though. But like I said I wouldn't have ever picked them up to read if it was up to me. I tend to like books that are really dramatic or sad. These ones were more settle. I guess I'm just a dramatic girl that likes a really sad book to cry over. But I might have choosen The Catcher in the Rye to read for fun. I find mental illnesses interesting and I'm going to study them in college. But, I thought the book was kind of boring though. There really wasn't one main problem that Holden had to solve. It was just me reading about him walking around the city. I think it possibly would be a better movie than a book. I'm just happy I got them all read and over with. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. Compared to Julius Ceaser last year these books were outstanding. I could actually understand them. But, they were just not my taste. If I had to rate them all I would give The Old Man and the Sea one star out of five. For The Grapes of Wrath I could give it three stars and for The Catcher in the Rye I would also give it three out of five stars. So overall I did not like these books too much but they were good compared to other things read in school.
