I think it’s a little confusing because i wasnt quite sure the point of the story or where it was going. Holden is interesting. Reading it knowing the historical context also made it interesting.

I enjoyed the portrayal of loneliness, isolation, and hypocrisy within Holden. I found certain scenes to be relatable while others were completely shameless and vulgar in tone. I am aware that it is meant to read like a teenager is speaking, and we, the readers, are meant to perceive it as distasteful, repetitive, and uncreative, and that's what pulls the book together. But, I can not get over the dozens to hundreds of times Holden says 'goddamn'. It genuinely infuriated me.

Se puede hacer pesado a ratos, pero al terminar de leerlo te das cuenta de por qué se estudia como una obra maestra de la literatura en los institutos estadounidenses. Volvería a leerlo.
