I had to force myself to finish this. None of the characters are rather likeable and the plot was not interesting enough to keep me reading. I do not understand the hype around this novel, and it’s no wonder this is the only novel Salinger is really known for if his writing is similar in his other novels.

3.75

Somewhere between 3.75 and 4 stars

Holden is just such an unenjoyable character that halfway through the book I start hating how phony it is (little joke there)

I get he's supposed to be depressed and all but damn like
he's clearly depressed never got over his brother dying and has had pedophilic encounters multiple times in his life which yes no wonder he's how he is
