Catcher in the Rye except Holden has real problems, but of course since he's Holden he's more worried about a girl who doesn't like him than the SS officer trying to kill him.  Good references to random jazz and poetries though.

I read the first half and all of it felt like exposition, so I gave up because I was bored
