A review by incso
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

4.0

a disjointed thought dump about the book:
-I personally don't think one necessarily needs to identify with Holden (I didn't much) to like the book, as many other readers suggest but instead, understand him. It's kind of ironic to think of the hate Holden receives because of his character being misinterpreted, when
Spoiler all he's wanted is to be understood.

- It was interesting to see how Holden himself was
Spoiler a phony, if one holds him up to his own standards.

- His relationship with his sister was very heartwarming.
