5.0

Salinger’s writing and the way he describes the world around the main character, Holden, really captures Holden’s personality. As a reader and teenager currently learning to grow up in this world, I found a lot of myself in these pages - likely due in part to the fact that the writing feels like the main character is just talking to you like an old friend.

"Até certo ponto era verdade, mas não é totalmente verdade. As pessoas estão sempre pensando que alguma coisa é totalmente verdadeira."

Não estava preparado pra me identificar tanto com o protagonista, sinceramente. Ri pra caramba em algumas partes, é um livro divertido de ler, o protagonista é um bom narrador.
