Holden. ;_;

One of my personal favorites. It's an easy read too. I finished it in two sittings.

Possibly my favourite book, and in Holden Caulfield one of literature's best characters. He may not always be sympathetic but he's a compelling voice to listen to. And the book itself is by turns hilarious and painfully sad. It's just a shame that its fame caused JD Salinger to turn himself into a virtual recluse, with very little writing produced afterwards.

Well, I found it to be a bit depressing, but it was really profound. I laughed throughout the book because I just feel embarrassed for Holden when he did some things, and I thought he was a relatable character. A lot of girls who I know have read the book didn't really like it (they thought it was boring), but I guess it's just because they can't relate (I think o_o). It's definitely one of my favorites.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. *assassinates a few people*

I am not finding it to my liking

I fail to see why this book is hailed as anything special. The language skills are crude and rudimentary. Some of the characters are ridiculously flat.

I can see some of the humour in the book, and see some of its thought process in making use of a crude method of language skills. But I still am unable to see why people hail this book as anything special.
