I honestly wasn’t expecting that book to be so amazing. I know that it’s a classic, but sometimes classics can be dusty and complicated to read. This was far from that, despite its slight slow pace sometimes (hence 4.75 stars). I have never felt so connected to a character in all the times that I’ve read in a VERY long time. Holden is such a complex but heartbreakingly innocent character. He is exposed and is exposing himself to self destructive behaviours and experiences a series of chaotic events during this novel which he chooses to pursue, yet he is so in pain, which makes me sympathise with him so much. I was so incredibly moved by this story - I’m actually speechless. And the twist at the endcarrrrrrrrmen's review against another edition

"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.
