The traumatized teen’s bible.
I feel like it’s hard to dislike Holden if you either were a kid like him or have known kids like him. He’s deeply empathetic, deeply intelligent, deeply good with people, deeply frustrating, and deeply frustrated all in one. He is an extremely realistic portrayal of a kid who has been failed by his society, but he loves the society all the same. I can understand how this could make people uncomfortable or put off, but your tenth grade english teacher wasn’t just trying to torture you, I promise 😂
