1.5
Graphic: Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Sexual content, Cursing, Homophobia, Pedophilia, and Sexual harassment
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.raccooonhands's review against another edition

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
