The Catcher in the Rye. Chapters 1-6

So far, I really like this book. It's SO MUCH better than the Odyssey or Habibi, that's for sure. I don't really appreciate all the swearing though..and Holden uses the word 'really' A LOT. He is a likeable guy, though. He really is. (ha) He is easy to relate to and understand. I don't think he is dumb, I just don't think he cares that much. I actually thought he was pretty smart. I think he is telling the truth, but the whole unreliable narrator thing we did kind of makes me think he isn't. I think somebody suggested that he has ADHD, which I was wondering about too. I wished he would've talked to the girl though and I hate his roommate! What a jerk! Ackley is okay, just kind of disgusting..

  1. You and I are forming an offical "Holden Admirers United Club". Kay? It's so weird how half of the people HATE him and the other people really LOVE him! They really do.
