people say they don’t like this book because of the inappropriate language and scenes that occur but i feel like that adds to the theme of adulthood in the novel. it is definitely not the best book i’ve ever read but holden’s intimate moments with the reader make the book special. holden, the main character, is very irritating sometimes but there are moments where you just can’t hate him. it is very angsty and truly a book of a teenager’s angsty mind (at times i would definitely relate to holden). the ending was disappointing though but i would recommend.

2nd time reading: 
At first, I was gonna give it a lower rating, maybe a 3.5 ⭐️. But I had too much fun annotating and analyzing this book. Finally understand it’s meaning and the underlying themes now that I’m older was truly magical.

I have not once in my life read a book that I felt so neutral about.

It was a nice read, that is all I can say about it.
