Może taki był zamiar ale główny bohater był absolutnie okropny. Główną treść jego monologu stanowiło to jak bardzo wszyscy ludzie są okropni, nudni, nadęci, dziwni i zboczeni (w przeciwieństwie do niego oczywiście). Zakończenie było bardzo niemrawe i nie rozumiem właściwie, co autor chciał przekazać. Bunt głównego bohatera był bardzo płytki, a tekst nie zdawał się tego zauważać. Plusem jest to, że bardzo szybko się to czyta.

Honnêtement je pensais détester à cause de la lenteur de la narration et les digressions du MC, et puis en fait comme je suis moi aussi un professional hater™️ extrêmement edgy j’ai finalement passé un plutôt bon moment même si teinté d’ennui

En fait j’ai trouvé le style tellement efficace que j’en viens à considérer le bouquin comme volontairement chiant, ce qui dans mon livre l’excuse à moitié - mais il n’empêche qu’il reste extrêmement lent et donc selon moi potentiellement extrêmement ennuyeux

This book is a character study. It focuses on being young and feeling the weight of people expecting you to have everything decided for the future, to know what career path you want to follow, when you might feel as if you know nothing. 

I have seen that many people dislike Holden. I agree that he is not someone that I'd like to hang out with but I don't hate him. I don't think I can, since his thoughts and behavior are affected by things he can't control. Firstly, I think he is autistic. Secondly, he found his dead brother's body when he was a kid and has been sexually harassed many times since a very young age. These are very traumatizing experiences for anyone, let alone a child. So that, combined with his autism, I believe explain why he thinks the way he does.

The main reason why I did not really enjoy this is the insufferable narrator. I’m aware that this is supposed to be a coming-of-age story, but the tone used gets annoying after a few chapters.

This book is definitely unpleasant to read in a way that a book written by a man about a man in the mid 1940s is. Makes me glad I veil. I saw one person say this book is really good, so I read it… Holden is just about the most annoying character ever. The only time I had some sort of emotional feeling was with Phoebe at the end. Just… no
