There's something about this book... It's so low-key. Read with "Nine Stories", and, even better, Seymonur's letter home in "Hapworth 16, 1924"... Seymour is one of the greatest sad characters. There is no way to understand what is wrong with him, just something is....

In Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters every significant character was extremely well developed, and it was easy to identify with the narrator. It was quick and pleasent reading. Seymore an Introduction took a bit more doing however it was satisfying once delved into.

raise high was def good; seymour felt a bit tedious and long but has a personal quality to it as it attempts to shed light on the beloved, mysterious Seymoure through the eyes of a brother

I can't figure out how and when I finished reading it. Well, it is good but if you read it right after finishing Catcher In The Rye, you will be a bit disappointed. Still, Raise High is recommended .

Probably my favorite of Salinger's books. Something about it just feels very personal. I love the relationships depicted between the main character and his siblings.
