Just not a fan. For someone who hates phonies so much, he does not realize that he is in fact the most phony in the whole novel. Very little interest in one sad little boy crying that he’s growing up. Whole thing reads like a pathetic love letter to Salinger’s school days, and if anyone misses being that depressed they’re nuts. I live it enough to not need to read it.
