I can appreciate the stream of consciousness writing style and contradicting thoughts as Holden is trying to figure out the world and his opinions/emotions to a degree- but after a while I was not only bored but continuously annoyed by him. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing ever did. I still didn’t even like him by the end of it.

I was never assigned this in high school and think that is when most people tend to read this book, so I thought that I would read it and see why it is assigned so frequently. I liked it, but I dont think that it really lived up to the expectations I had, because so many people seem to love it.
