1.5

The main character Holden was so annoying, the way he acted and talked, it was so inappropriate and I understand that he is going through a lot being a teenager but he doesn’t even fit that category, just a delinquent. People say I’m supposed to relate to his character, but in my opinion he just portrays an even worse image of teenagers when he doesn’t! This book was so frustrating to read and very hard to follow, I was not a fan of the writing. I’ll les the .5 for the creativity but I do not recommend reading this book.
