Salinger's masterpiece is an absolutely hilarious, and yet simultaneously grim, take on the life of the American teenage boy. I found it exceptionally enjoyable to read and, at times, somewhat applicable. The book follows Holden Caulfield as he grapples with his life while running around New York City, and the protagonist's narration is both witty and brutally honest.

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.

I liked it more than I was expecting at the start I thought it might become too crude and annoying. But i loved it especially how it explored themes like intelligence and maturity. It is a product of its time and has some dated ideas, especially about some things. But in a way I liked how it explored how young boys at the time had to mature faster.

This book is definitely unpleasant to read in a way that a book written by a man about a man in the mid 1940s is. Makes me glad I veil. I saw one person say this book is really good, so I read it… Holden is just about the most annoying character ever. The only time I had some sort of emotional feeling was with Phoebe at the end. Just… no

nostalgic at the end but overall felt uneventful, even though it’s a “classic”
