Although Holden’s personality can be quite challenging to get ahold of, his story is filled with unique perspectives and emotional insights that leave you  compassionate to him and empathetic towards his struggle.

This is NOT a good book to read by someone who is sensitive to profanity or self deprecating talk. Anyone with severe mental illness, disorder, emotional sensitivity, and suicidal tendencies should take extreme caution when or avoid reading this book.

Incredibly impressed by the skill it takes to create a first person POV with such a strong and consistent voice throughout an entire novel. I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed this teenager’s melancholic ramblings, but sometimes the classics are classics for a reason.

Controversial opinion, I wish I would have read this in high school so I could have had the lessons about the time period and the setting surrounding the events of this book. It is an amazing feat when a book is so timeless but so grounded in the present moment simultaneously. I really felt for Holden, and I found myself hoping he eventually finds some peace when he is older. He isn't very likeable but most people aren't at that age, and it is pretty clear that he is going through some sort of manic/depressive episode in this novel. His most redeeming quality is his love for his siblings, especially his sister Phoebe. Overall, I can tell why this is a classic, but I wouldn't read it again.

Still a great read. Had me cracking up throughout and I even cried a little! 

10 years later and I’m still in love with book and catch something new each time.
