Holden is just such an unenjoyable character than halfway through the book I start hating how phony it is (little joke there)
I get he's supposed to be depressed and all but damn like
It was a nice enough read in that I like when the character is the focus but it ultimately feels like it goes nowhere especially the ending

The POV of Holden gets old quick. The book is slow and severely overrated. What many consider a classic, I think is just outdated and dull. I do have empathy for Holden and hope he found healing where it was he was getting help for at the end. He reminds me a lot of an old best friend I had, I’m convinced Holden was a Gemini moon.
