The Catcher in the Rye

4 stars

I found the main character of J.D. Salinger???s Catcher in the Rye, Holden, relatable without much difficulty. The book is a story about a day in the life of a 16-year-old guy, who cusses a lot and makes even more questionable choices, but does so without coming off as stupid, instead just quite directionless and lost. Holden Caulfield is not a bad guy in a sense of the word, he is afflicted by a malaise that most of come in contact with at least in passing ??? he is unsure, anxious and often depressed, he can???t seem to fit in.
I recommend that you read it if you often feel similar to Holden and you would like to have someone to relate to.
