Very well done, especially the actress playing Franny.

Can't believe Salinger has not removed it from YouTube.

Thanks!

And no, the actors aren't British, BlizzardKing.

[caulfield98]

they dont talk at all how i imagined them.

[penguinsandfiber]

Yeah, I didn't want to force the particular accents I imagined on the actors, but oh well.

I love this book - good video :)

[penguinsandfiber]

Thanks a lot!

@kategaston I agree, but it actually works fairly well. Much more actable than Catcher...

[kategaston]

reading is more impressive than watching

@rickstill122 Haha! I was hoping for that part too. Tough to act out though, I'm sure.

[supersexyninjajunjun]

love this. adore Franny Glass....all the glass kids but she`s my personal favorite. x3 then Zooey then Seymour then Buddy then all the rest xP this is a good video.

Great job, guys but can barely hear the audio.

[rickstill122]

Yes, the young lady does an amazing job. I was hoping, when Franny went to the restroom, that Lane would act out that moment where Lane tries to change his look from a guy on a bad date, to a confident, attractive guy waiting for his date to return. I'd like to see Franny as the Matron of Honor in Raise High the Roofbeam! And hey! It's Salinger! If the actors and actresses don't have lung cancer at the end of each scene, you're doing something wrong. Excellent idea and job.

if i watched it to the end, the book would be ruined for me

[blondeleo16]

pretty awesome!

except it did bug me how Lane kept pronouncing it "FLAber", not "FLOber", haha.

overall, quite impressive.
