Il classico della letteratura americana ai lettori del giorno d'oggi potrebbe far storcere il naso, ma preso per quello che é rimane comunque un libro decisamente apprezzabile, scorrevole, a tratti parecchio ironico ma che riesce comunque a far riflettere su quelli che possono essere i conflitti o le incomprensioni tra un adolescente e un mondo che é nemico

The ending was more like a cliffhanger in the sense that it wasn’t an end all be all, but it was very good

I found it very interesting how they implied towards the end of the book that Holden was abused sexually, you don’t see that often in books or any forms of media about boys
