My friend randomly picked this book in the library and said I should read it.
I like Holden's sister Phoebe. Perhaps she's only idolised by Holden. Nevertheless, she's likeable. To the book she's like fresh air, she sticks out among the other rotten characters. Most importantly though, I enjoy how she brings the best out of Holden.
Holden gets kicked out of yet another prep school. Therefore, he decides to getaway. While away, he confronts quite a few aspects of the „adult world“ and tries to deal with them.

Jenom proto, že je sám do sebe šíleně zamilovanej, tak si myslí, že vy do něj musíte bejt taky šíleně zamilovaný a že prostě umíráte touhou udělat mu nějakou laskavost. Svým způsobem je to psina.

Nikdy nikomu o nikom nevypravujte, poněvadž by vám pak začal scházet.
I'm content with how the book ends.
I am not impressed by the book. However, I'm glad I read it because it's classic. Now I'll know what people are referring to.
