"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.

I was gifted this by my older sister when I was 18 and I never got around to reading it. She said it was intended to read before college, I didn’t understand until page 189. I found the words very comforting, unfortunately they came from a character who is suspect of preying on Holden sooo…He’s one of the many predators talked about in this book, to the point where I have to believe the author wanted us to understand how perverse men are. 

The POV of Holden gets old quick. The book is slow and severely overrated. What many consider a classic, I think is just outdated and dull. I do have empathy for Holden and hope he found healing where it was he was getting help for at the end. He reminds me a lot of an old best friend I had, I’m convinced Holden was a Gemini moon.

This book does not live up to the hype. I just could not get into it, it’s was very hard for me to read I think it might be because I hated the repetition.
