Coming of age story about a teen who has been kicked out of his latest school and his bleak outlook on life. Controversial at the time of its use of profanity but very tame compared to many current adolescent releases. Well written but the character does not have much hope for life.

Holden Caulfield consegue ser um personagem mt complexo e inteligente e também simples e meio burro, ele é melancólico e claramente depressivo por causa de eventos passados

como a morte do irmão mais novo, Alfie

esse é um motivo de eu gostar tanto dele :)

call me crazy, you don’t get it like it get it 💔
 it’s just about a kid that’s afraid of growing up. Mourning childhood, or nostalgia, is something all of us can’t grief.
I think some of the writing is a bit repetitive and Holden goes on these very long tangents, for good reasons but it goes on for a while. But other than that it was pretty good :) !!

This was my favorite book when I was in high school but I hadn’t read it in a decade, so I wanted to re-read it and see if I still enjoyed it and how my thoughts on it would change. I work in the mental health field now and the mental health themes always interested me as a teen, so it was incredibly interesting to read through that lens. Holden is a difficult character to like as he’s emotionally immature (but who wasn’t at 17?), cynical, and generally just hypocritical and whiny at times. Despite all of that, his character is still one of my favorites of any book I’ve read. The clear impact of trauma and how it shaped his worldview is intriguing, and I picked up a lot of different things that I didn’t when I first read it at 15 or 16.
