The Catcher in the Rye

It had many sexual subject matters, and it had some rejection to American ideals so it got banned from schools, libraries, and bookstores. It was also disliked from parents and they didn't want their child to be reading this sort of book with inappropriate words and expressions so it was first banned at school libraries. However, many people say that this book shows the reality of a teenage boy and teaches teenagers the 'real world' so it shouldn't be banned and teenagers should read it.
