I thought this book was really interesting to read. A lot of people don't like it because they don't like the main character. However, for me, I think not liking the main character is kinda the point. Holden is mentally ill with seemingly no one in his life who he feels as though he can trust/confide in. I think that by trying too hard to like him, people miss the point of the story and his journey with his mental health and relationships throughout the book.
