An interesting read, though not one I necessarily enjoyed. My main takeaway is that Holden desperately needs a good therapist.

Holden is super depressed and this book is, frankly, very sad.

It’s not super well written and really didn’t live up to my expectations, but it was a nice read with some interesting details and symbolism. I think it was quite important for its time, even if it isn’t beautifully written.

Slightly surprised I liked this as much as I did, but here we are.

I guess I like reading about extremely annoying characters that irritate me to no end and make me want to fight them <3

This book was very, very slow. I liked some aspects of the book, but not many. If you're looking for a classic book to read that's good, i would not recommend it.
