The Catcher in the Rye

First thoughts that come into my head....

Holden, probably as annoying as any character in any book I've ever read.

So many annoying ticks in the prose that I nearly threw the book out the window, I REALLY DID

Holden manages to complete the three stages of annoying man in just 48 hours....

* Annoying aloof Teenager

* Annoyingly obnoxious young adult

* Annoyingly loud willy waving drunk grownup

And yet, despite all this, I was strangely compelled to finish it. I am glad we didn't read this at school, if we did I think I would have become a nun and lived on raw turnip for all eternity.
