Holden is just such an unenjoyable character than halfway through the book I start hating how phony it is (little joke there)
I get he's supposed to be depressed and all but damn like
Spoiler
he's clearly depressed never got over his brother dying and has had pedophilic encounters multiple times in his life which yes no wonder he's how he isIt was a nice enough read in that I like when the character is the focus but it ultimately feels like it goes nowhere especially the ending
Spoiler
like oh boy Holden got institutionalized big whoopGraphic: Alcoholism, Alcohol, Mental illness, and Suicidal thoughts

Holden Caulfield is a LOSER and Phoebe, his 10 y/o sister, is the only character that has common sense in the whole story. also, do yourself a favor and don't read the final ¾ of a page after the carousel scene.Moderate: Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Suicide
