2.0

As expected, I didn't enjoy this book. There wasn't anything particularly offensive about it (except maybe the copious use of phony and crumby). I know the remarkable thing about his book was the narrative style, supposedly mimicking that of a teenage boy. I didn't particularly enjoy it and found Holden Caulfield to be a frustrating character.
