Can't remember too much about this book other than the main character is an intolerable brat. Trying to decide if I should reread it at some point with a fresh set of eyes and because it's a classic, but I don't know if I have it in me.

I have a hard time giving this book only 4 stars... If there were a way to do "4.75 stars," I would, and only because I only really give 5 stars to books that I think are under-appreciated. If Howard Jones were a book, I'd give him 5 stars.

Bottom Line: "Read The Catcher in the Rye" should be on everyone's "To Do Before I Die" list.

This book is completely exposition. I managed to get halfway through and then had to stop reading. Just could not make it through.
