Did The Catcher In The Rye get banned in the UK?

That was a really interesting book. What did you think about it? I think it’s one of the books most commonly banned from school reading lists, along with The Odyssey, Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, To Kill a Mockingbird, and probably many other classics.

Where those books all banned in the US?

I don’t know about The Odyssey, but definitely the other four, yes.  Though not for the reason you might expect.  See, all those books were banned because of the language, not the content.  That’s because there’s no such thing as an official “banned books list” for the US.  Instead, schools or libraries get sued if they choose to include a book that’s deemed “objectionable” by a particular school district, or state.

Is it just banned in schools or you can't buy it in the book store either?
