Filled with empty verbiage after empty verbiage and enough mundanity for it to pass as contemporary rather than the fifties setting that it is, this pile of paper(I shall not bestow it the honor of being a book) is the definition of overrated. Holden Caulfield is the biggest phony no matter what he says. The only thing he ever gets right is that his siblings Allie and Phoebe are superior.
Read something else instead!
