I loved this book but I can understand why people may not like it. Holden as insufferable as he was was such a character to read about. Its a study of sorts in teenage angst and a study in trauma undelt with at a young age. We get to explore a little bit of life in its worst. We get shown how conditions can change somebody Esspecily in an oppressive environment.
