This is probably the first time I've ever felt this way towards a book. I seriously don't know what to feel. I like that Salinger wrote it journal–like. I like that it tackles issues about phonies and how fake most people are. What I don't like is that this book is so depressing. I literally felt sorry for Holden. I mean he lives his life filled with hate and angst against people who I bet don't even care so much about him. I hate that I sort of like the way that it was ended. I hate that it left me with a few unanswered questions like: 1) Was Holden molested as a child? If yes, who did it? 2) I wonder what goes on in the Caulfield household. Phoebe wants to go away with Holden in the end. What happened to Phoebe? Was she just trying to take care of Holden? Or something else happened....? 3) What happened to calling Jane Gallagher? He mentioned a bunch of times how he'd try to call her but he never did. (J.D. SALINGER, NEVER DEPRIVE A GIRL OF LOVE STORIES..... Especially if the book you're gonna write is as depressing as this one.) Giving this book 4 out of 5 stars because (this may sound phony but it's the truth so screw you all) as depressing as it was, you can't deny the fact that Salinger is a brilliant writer to have thought of this mind boggling book. Also, this book reminds of Perks of Being a Wallflower. (googled about it and yep, it was influenced by Salinger. Wow.)
Good story that got me thinking.
