Holden Caulfield is a marvel - I did not relate to him one but when I read the novel even though we would've been the same age. There's something about Catcher in the Rye that made me turn up my nose at it for some reason. It could've been the chaotic writing style or Holden's character that often made me question my own sanity.

Overall, I think people should read this book because it is great (it's a classic for a reason), but I'd just say to not expect anything absolutely amazing if you're not interested in analysis or in studying the novel.
