Score: Seven points out of ten.
I wanted to read The Catcher in the Rye since I saw it circle my recommendations, and when I saw a library having this, I immediately wanted to pick it up. I couldn't glance at the blurb, since there was no blurb. However, I went in with high hopes. When I closed the final page, the book was enjoyable.

Other than the problematic parts, again, this book was mid. Had no point. The ending is just like every other chapter. I was waiting for a huge twist that never happened. At the end the author basically says: “ this book was about nothing, and you waisted your time.”
Sure as hell felt like it.
