Started off well, wasn't bad but could've done without the last 100 pages. Slightly too long for such an anticlimactic plot.

Remind me again why this is considered a classic?
Having studied through the British education system, my reference of classic literature were the literary greats: Shakespeare, Dickens, the Brontë sisters, the list goes on and on... so I guess I'd always been curious as to what the perceived 'classics' were on the other side of the Atlantic. Thought I'd give it a shot with Catcher in the Rye, knowing this was studied in schools. And maybe that was my problem. I maybe would have given this a higher rating if I'd read this whilst being in my early teens.
Will definitely give other American classics a go, but this was nothing special.
