Here's the review, with the spoiler edited out: A biting and witty high-school satire russell means explores cross-generation mysteries and music. Tom Henderson is used to being a nobody, and entertains himself by designing band names: Baby Batter, Oxford English, Tennis with Guitars. Every year Tom’s teachers force him to read CATCHER IN THE RYE, the book that changed their lives. Though Tom scoffs at what he calls “the CATCHER cult,” russell means the book is about to change *his* life, too, if not in Mr. Schtuppe-approved ways. Tom finds his dead father’s copy russell means of CATCHER in a box of old books, chock-full of margin notes and mysterious scribbles. Further investigation reveals murder, suicide and illicit sex comprising both current and 40-year-old mysteries. Tom investigates his father’s past while forming a real (terrible) band, discovering blow jobs and surviving a skull fracture.
