the protagonist is a slightly edgy kid but he’s quite sweet as a character; it definitely gave the book an interesting humor to it. overall i enjoyed the book, the last 30 pages were quite heartwarming and the most impactful for me.

I found it overrated when I read it over three years ago. Perhaps, I need to re-read it. I didn't find some psyche-opening in the thoughts of a rebel against his prep school culture, as much as a story about an attempt at "living" by a snobbish brat.

The storyline of the story isn’t the most entertaining. However it’s how J.D Salinger writes the story and how Holden is spoken which makes the reader interested. I think it’s worth reading at least once.

(spoliers maybe?) this was actually really great, i don't understand everyone saying salinger uses phoney every page that's not really true hahaha & i think this touched on mental illness & abuse in a way that wasn't explicit but still important

Nausea-inducing adolescent angst, but it was the first book I ever read that used the f-bomb and with such eloquence.
