A review by lavrendy
Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger

4.0

My second time reading Salinger was similar to the first: He sneakily gets me to relate to a cynical main character, only to be called out and humbled by a wise but flawed mentor through a series of quippy monologues. (I’m also told to grow up and have a little hope, godammit!) A pretty specific formula, but it did the trick both times.
