A review by lindseyzank
Catcher, Caught by Sarah Collins Honenberger

3.0

I liked the idea of this book: a teenage boy who is dying of leukemia is inspired by Holden Caulfield from Salinger's famous novel. The opening is strong, but the style seems to fall apart after a while and the voice that began the story is not the voice that ends it. I think the topic of parents who don't allow their children to have traditional medical treatment for illnesses like cancer is a timely one right now. Overall, this was a quick read that did not quite meet its potential.
