If you loved 'the catcher in the rye', you will probably love 'raise high the roof beams carpenters', a similar style of story, in my opinion equally wonderful and unforgettable -- this recommendation from someone whose favorite short story is 'the laughing man'.

There is no need to know about JD Salinger or understand who Buddy and Seymour are. The sheer simplicity of the desire to wave to the old man's hat, to the complexity of Buddy's love for Seymour shown in his inability to find anyone to look for horses in his stead, is pure brilliance. Read this book.

Both these stories are interlinked with that of "For Esme with love and Squalor" and "Franny and Zooey" giving a greatly detailed view of the family's lives. When these stories are read with the other two books we can amazingly link the lives together especially thanks to this book. I would recommend reading this book after reading the other two first, thus you can interlink all the lives together and discover why future events may have happend. In conclusion this book is worth the money you pay for it, although I would not buy this before you get to know the authors past first. Christian Barron
