Holden is just such an unenjoyable character than halfway through the book I start hating how phony it is (little joke there)
I get he's supposed to be depressed and all but damn like
It was a nice enough read in that I like when the character is the focus but it ultimately feels like it goes nowhere especially the ending

Here's my favorite part of this book, this quote is just everything:
βAnyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.β
