I'll give any book a fair try.. but this one was horrible. I've never wanted to punch a fictional character before--until Holden. If I ever read another sentence about phonies it will be TOO SOON. I had to read this in highschool and I hated the entire experience. I have no idea why this is considered to be a literary gem.
