Catcher in the Rye was an enjoyable and worthwhile read, but everyone's enormous praise for this book made it a huge letdown. It's very preachy and the points it makes are misplaced.Holden, the main character, is extremely cynical, sometimes understandable, sometimes not, and is yellow.With all of the people who have fallen in love with this book over the years, it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with them, or something wrong with me.
