Throughout Holden's meander around New York I laughed - sometimes with Holden, sometimes AT him - I was frustrated and then I was sad, but I ultimately left the book with a deep sense of pity for childhood and innocence lost.

Graphic: Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Sexual harassment, Sexual content, Cursing, Homophobia, and Pedophilia
Minor: Racism
This novel reflects the period of time in which it was written, meaning that there are scenes of minor racism and homophobia, sometimes even by the main character. There is a depiction of a masculine attracted teaching preying on a student which is rather uncomfortable and it is implied that all gay people are perverted like that.jask's review against another edition
