Although I’ve read this book a couple times, it feels like i finally grasped it this time around. Like holden, i was so caught up with my own issues against the world that anything i tried to put my focus on, like reading this book, became hazy. Ugh holden, they could never make me hate u.

Thought provoking but not really enjoyable for me. The character has a distinct voice that gets into your head (and to quote his sister, “stop cursing so much”)
I definitely looked up some study guides to help with analysis a little bit. This seems like it’d be fun in a lit class or book club but maybe not just for a fun read

Może taki był zamiar ale główny bohater był absolutnie okropny. Główną treść jego monologu stanowiło to jak bardzo wszyscy ludzie są okropni, nudni, nadęci, dziwni i zboczeni (w przeciwieństwie do niego oczywiście). Zakończenie było bardzo niemrawe i nie rozumiem właściwie, co autor chciał przekazać. Bunt głównego bohatera był bardzo płytki, a tekst nie zdawał się tego zauważać. Plusem jest to, że bardzo szybko się to czyta.
