Definitely enjoyed it more this second time reading it. The first time was for school so that may have cause me to not enjoy it that time as much.
I hated parts of this book but loved others. I found the more I learned about Holden, the more I felt for him and slowly understood what could be causing him to act the way he was. He is obviously a very troubled person from the start, but until I understood what was causing it (whether implied or explicit) I disliked him as a character.
