After about nine years of owning it, I finally read 'The Catcher in the rye' was it my favorite? no but i'm glad to cross it off my book bucket list; it had some nice observations and reminds me the feeling of being a teenager with so many conflicting emotions, but Holden is really whiny and unaware of his own privilege of being a white boy in the 1950's, you do feel his longing for belonging and thinking he has already grown up but he has a lot of growing up to do.
