I'd attempted this book before and was determined to finish it now. Your mileage with this book will all depend on how well you can handle Holden, and I can't stand him. I respect the book, but it too all my will to get through it. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar is very much a response to this book, and I love that one. Read it... I was going to rate this 4-stars out of respect, but I just can't do it.
