jeff_silverblum 's review for:
The Catcher in the Rye
by J.D. Salinger
the amount of people disregarding what is essentially a cry for help is insane. its made so blatantly obvious that Holdens attitude of calling everybody a phony, and being a general misanthrope is just a shell he puts on himself to hide all his pain and loneliness which itself is another shell covering the good person inside of him
even at his moments of opening up, the eponymous(?) monologue of his being a catcher in the rye, him talking to his dead brother as if he was alive, him wishing some things could be kept in glass cases, people choose to ignore all that for what? to feel smug about themselves for lacking empathy?
a fantastic book, that says a lot about change, innocence, grief and growing up, all with very simple and enjoyable prose (i guess im a stream of thought enjoyer), i did kind of get annoyed of the constant use of ‘goddamn’ and his repetition like ‘so what i did was, i-‘ it was probably intentional but whatever
really good book, and completely misunderstood (where are the misogynists who like this book? its always people saying misogynists love this but i’ve yet to see one)
