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.
