Franny and Zooey

Amazon´s Review: Franny is an intellectually precocious late adolescent who tries to attain spiritual purification by obsessively reiterating the "Jesus prayer" as an antidote to the perceived superficiality and corruptness of life. She subsequently suffers a nervous breakdown. In the second story, her next older brother, Zooey, attempts to heal Franny by pointing out that her constant repetition of the "Jesus prayer" is as self-involved and egotistical as the egotism against which she rails. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature.
Personal Opinion: At first I decided to read this book because it was written by J.D.Salinger and I have always liked the way he developes characters showing their mental conflicts. The book in itself it´s very  good it deals about many phylosophical issues so don't expect some heart-breaking story. It shows how the character view the world and all the people in it and it may seem like they think they are way superior but the book's also about how they struggled with their upbringing in a "weird family" and how they felt about their older brother who passed away. They both are very troubled but Zooey decides to help Franny in her mental breakdown. It turns a little toward religious themes specially a lot of Budhism so read this if you´re not bothered by that.haha

MY Rating: 6/10
