Good Points
Very real - a true human story.

Bad Points
No climax as such.

General Comments
I thoroughly enjoyed this book- it was a great read. I was charmed by Holden and his little quirks- The character is by no means boring, and though he does repeat things, it's in a very conversational way, you really do feel like he's talking to you, and you alone- it's wonderful.

J.D Salinger is an amazing writer- I laughed so much at some of the comments Holden makes in the books, and a lot of his observations just rang so true to me. His relationships with his family are real, and I could really relate to his protective streak over his little sister Phoebe- His daydreams and his wandering side thoughts are very often humorous, but you find yourself reading it, and agreeing with him.

And yes, Holden hates everything, but that's the funny side of it, and he probably doesn't really hate, he just does at the time. =)
