I don't think I fully understood or appreciated this book when I read it. Maybe I should read it again.

4.5 // I can’t tell if this is a popular or unpopular take but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Holden is the epitome of “the” twelve year old boy and everything about him was seemed like an easily identifiable quality you could quickly attach to any boy his age. Obviously this book had its problematic moments, but they only added to the perspective being that of a young boy. Beyond the interesting character study, the writing in this was consistently entertaining and captivating for such a simple story. I completely understand why this is required reading for so many schools and I wish my school made more people read it.

Enjoyable, and I liked the main character a lot! The ending, however, was pretty unsatisfactory- I felt like a lot of plot points were just left without endings.

Pekná myšlienka, ale otravné postavy a štýl písania. Chcela by som to milovať, tak si to prečítam ešte raz. Niekedy.
