Meh. I don't see what the fuss is all about. Maybe the book was controversial in 1950's when it was released, but now it just doesn't seem to hold any gravitas. Holden Caufield seems to hate everyone, feels he's better than everyone else and they're all out to get him. It rambles for the whole book, reads like a self-absorbed self-righteous writing you might find online. The style probably was unique in a repressed era which people didn't share their every thought, but now with social media and everyone sharing everything it just comes across as shallow.
