Publisher Description
After an earth-shattering diagnosis of leukemia, 15-year-old Daniel Landon sees a reflection of himself in the words of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. Inspired by Holden Caulfield, Daniel begins to question the intentions and authority of those around him in his own search for identity as he faces death. Tired of his cramped surroundings and hippie parents’ alternative approaches to his treatment, he follows the footsteps of Caulfield to New York City in search of the same eternal truths, only to discover the importance of home when death looms. A coming of age story, a love story, and a new classic, Catcher, Caught will engage the imagination of more than one generation, searching for lasting values.

"I really enjoyed this book. The author gets the tone of the teenage protagonist right. I like the way Daniel relates to Holden Caulfield - it makes me want to reread Catcher in the Rye, which is sadly not available as an ebook."

" daniel landon has leukemia in this young adult novel. his hippie parent eschew regular doctors in favor of some strange alternative herbalist. danial is quite taken with holden caulfield (catcher in the rye) and identifies with him. daniel finds love, experiments with drugs and has a teen age boy summer experience albeit a strange one. living on a houseboat i could not help but think of all of the health hazards associated with his living conditions and his illness. did not ring totally true for me.

" YA novel about a teen boy, Daniel, who has Leukemia and identifies strongly with Holden from The Catcher in the Rye. Among the many story lines are his parents not wanting to give him conventional medical treatments and being prosecuted for it, Daniel's first love and sexual experience, and a best friend with a drug problem.

" Truly unique story written in a 15 year old boys voice, purposely done a la Holden Caufield style. For anyone who loved Cather in the Rye and/or identifies with Holden...this is a must read. "

" My frustration with the parents for refusing medical treatment for their son, colored my view of this book. "
— Claire, 12/28/2013 -
" I hated this book. I'm so mad I wasted so much time & kept reading until the end. Nothing happened, at all, for the entire book. "
— Brandi, 12/17/2013 -
" This book was okay, a little disappointed in the ending. It definitely got better towards the end of the book, and picked up a lot faster. The ending just didn't wow me or surprise me at all. "
— Jamie, 10/6/2013 -
" As a longtime lover of The Catcher in the Rye, I came to this book with high aspirations, but it never quite lived up to what I had hoped. "
— Matt, 9/10/2013 -
" It was ok. Impulse buy from my husband on the Kindle account. "
— Claudine, 7/17/2013 -
" I liked the characters of Daniel and his older brother joe, but really struggled with the Hippy parents making crazy decissions based on some imagined spiritual beliefs. Fine if you want to do that with your life, but maybe not use your child as a guinea pig. "
— Tfalcone, 5/8/2013 -
" This book was just okay. I wonder if I would have liked it more if I read Catcher in the Rye more recently. It might be worth recommending to students who really enjoyed Salinger's book. "

" Interesting book about a high school age kid dealing with the fact that he is dying and how he interacts with his family and friends. "
— Kerri, 2/7/2013 -
" It was okay - it dragged for a while and then ended just as it started to get good again. I liked the parallels to Catcher In the Rye, which I really like, but I just wasn't satisfied with it as a whole. "
— Amy, 2/4/2013 -
" An easy read, and a good story. It's narrated by a 16 year old boy, so be forewarned, there is some questionable content. If you liked "Catcher in the Rye", this would be a good read for you. "
— Melissa, 1/6/2013 -
