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

adventurous dark emotional slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

An interesting read, though not one I necessarily enjoyed. My main takeaway is that Holden desperately needs a good therapist.
