I can also understand the negative reviews of this book. And I can understand that youngsters will identify with Holden’s story. But still, his thoughts, fears and pains felt real in some way. And being told through the eyes of a teenage boy, it was not easy for me to empathize. Holden is an unsympathetic main character. The language in this story is repetitive and filthy. He knows his parents will be disappointed and already leaves for New York but without going home. The story is about a seventeen year old teenage boy who experiences a difficult period in life and is forced to leave his school again. I didn’t understand the title at all, now of course I do. This is the kind of classic that I didn’t know what to expect from. We learn that Holden has lost a younger brother Allie and that he’s struggling to find his place in the world. In the next three days, he will be wandering through the streets, meeting old friends, a tutor and his sister Phoebe. He decides to already leave his school and takes the cab to New York. Holden Caulfield has just been kicked from school, again.
