Enjoyed it, but not an over the moon great read. Not a keeper nor a re-reader for me. The style of writing is what kept my attention the most -- "Holden Caulfield" has a way of double speaking, backtracking over his words from start to finish, makes for a fun read just imagining him speaking to you. All in all, the main character reminded me of my own teenagers -- critical of everything, always thinking that life is bad or wrong, and that they can do it better or know more...lol...((hugs!))
