A beautifully crafted book. Holden is a lost soul who doesn’t quite fit into the world around him, and it’s moving to read how he approaches life. Brilliant!

Read it for school. I have a spotty memory, so I'm thinking of giving this one another go. Older and wiser, all that jazz.

I don't care if I'm a red flag for liking this book. This boy is just a teenager! I am fond of him and I would show him some love if I were to exist in his world.
