4.0

An well-realised character study of an insightful, troubled young man who is full of definite answers for the strange, inauthentic behaviours of the peers and adults in his life. The plot drives an exploration of his neuroses, and challenges their preconceptions about those around him - often confirming them. The narrator's tone and cynicism is rendered very faithfully to the experience of being young, and coupled with the struggles of disconnection, loss, and the chaos of life.

Made me cry. Encompasses the frustrations faced in the transition from childhood to adulthood. It’s unlikable if you don’t focus on putting yourself in Holden’s shoes, because by looking at him from the outside, he is a pretty shitty person. That’s the beauty of the book; most teenagers are the exact same.
