The Catcher in the Rye

I enjoyed reading almost every part of the book. This book illustrates the feelings of a sixteen year old boy who fails at and have problems with almost everything and perhaps we can conclude that he is undergoing a phase of discordance. The signs that Holden is a troubled child are many:He fails out of four schools, he doesn't care about his future, he has a fight with his room mate and decides to leave the hostel, gets involved in risky matters and is never satisfied or content. Holden is a peculiar boy and has idiosyncratic behavior several times. One of the most notable peculiarity is that he is extremely judgmental of almost everything and everybody which makes the book hilarious and funny few times. This book basically describes the inability of a child to see or understand the complexities of the adult word.
