I had to force myself to finish this. None of the characters are rather likeable and the plot was not interesting enough to keep me reading. I do not understand the hype around this novel, and it’s no wonder this is the only novel Salinger is really known for if his writing is similar in his other novels.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Suicidal thoughts

Moderate: Sexual harassment, Sexual content, Cursing, Homophobia, and Pedophilia

Minor: Racism

This novel reflects the period of time in which it was written, meaning that there are scenes of minor racism and homophobia, sometimes even by the main character. There is a depiction of a masculine attracted teaching preying on a student which is rather uncomfortable and it is implied that all gay people are perverted like that.
