An excruciating read. Holden is trapped in mania, zipping around attempting to create/maintain relationships of various forms. Beautiful moments between protectors and those they find vulnerable which I think is the "point" of the book if there is one at all. 

I suspect I am not the target audience so did not enjoy the inner workings of Holden's mind. Might have enjoyed 20 years ago.

I didn’t like Holden in high school and still don’t like him. Props to the author for creating an undeniably iconic character though.

My feelings are transient based on whether I'm reading it from Sally/ Jane's perspective or Holden's perspective. Every one of us had their own tumultuous days of teenage years. But while there are so many Holdens in the literary world (বাংলা সাহিত্যে কবি, পুতুলনাচের ইতিকথা) why there aren't any popular/ critically acclaimed classic where a teenage girl is the narrator? How would a book be received in the 1950s if it was Sally "necking" with someone she loathes because he's too "phony"? The feminist in me groans.
