I actually found this incredibly boring. I can't quite understand why it is on so many 'must read' lists. it didn't seem to go anywhere

Honestamente, no sé cuántas estrellas ponerle a este libro. Ni siquiera sé decir si me ha gustado o no. Tengo bastantes cosas que decir sobre esta historia, y sobre el hecho de que fue escrita en la primera mitad del siglo veinte.
Haciendo un resumen rápido, le pongo cuatro estrellas porque creo que el libro ha conseguido su objetivo último, y es que, aún viendo todo lo que hace Holden, acabemos pensando como él (aunque sea respecto a él). Pocos libros han conseguido que pase de reírme a carcajada limpia, a que acabe con una cara de "wtf, esto más depresivo no puede ser, dónde está el sentido de todo esto". Hay que reconocerle Salinger que ha sabido manejarnos pero bien.

Es cierto que El Guardián Entre el Centeno es uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura moderna, un libro que todo el mundo menciona pero que nadie te explica. De ahí que cuando empecé a leer libro me llevara, en cierto modo, una gran sorpresa al ver el tipo de libro que era. No lo que esperaba, precisamente. Este libro es el gran conocido de la literatura universal, pero al mismo tiempo, el gran desconocido.
