my ap lit teacher LOVED holden caulfield, but he really annoyed the shit out of me.

yes, i'm aware that's the point and i get why he's totally terrible to deal with. i liked the general message and ideas of the story, and i loved analyzing it for class. it was just hard to read about holden being a menace for almost 300 pages without reprieve. the book also rambled a bit, but overall it was good enough. not a total work of life-changing art, but good.

phoebe, ily girl.

Może taki był zamiar ale główny bohater był absolutnie okropny. Główną treść jego monologu stanowiło to jak bardzo wszyscy ludzie są okropni, nudni, nadęci, dziwni i zboczeni (w przeciwieństwie do niego oczywiście). Zakończenie było bardzo niemrawe i nie rozumiem właściwie, co autor chciał przekazać. Bunt głównego bohatera był bardzo płytki, a tekst nie zdawał się tego zauważać. Plusem jest to, że bardzo szybko się to czyta.

I bet your wondering how I came up with 2.75 star rating, & boy I’ll tell y’a! Holden(our main character) is a real interesting guy. I think this book is a well written book about coming of age & innocence vs adulthood. There lots of imagery and theme throughout the book, but I didn’t enjoy read this book all that much.

My favorite part of the whole book, was when Holden talks about his paper of ancient Egypt that he wrote & his professor read aloud to him; then he sees the mummies in the museum at the end and quotes the phony paper he wrote up for literature class. Oof, Holden. Get a grip.
