Review Detail

Reader reviewed by VFang

I thought this book was really good. Holden struggles with so much and is just a great character to read. I loved how he was trying to find his way in a world that he saw as so unmoral and unfair. JD Salinger  doesnt hold back as he shows a broad spectrum of character flaws in both Holden and the people around him. I think it is a great coming of age story. A book I would recommend that everyone read at some point in their lives. Its definitely not one that everyone will like but hey cant please everyone.
PS.Just a random fact the guy who killed John Lennon, Mark Chapman read and emulated Holden alot. And actually set down and started to read the book again right after killing John Lennon.(Just a random fact I thought I'd include)
