Re: Tell us that one literary classic novel you hate...

Yeah, that's what most people say who liked the book - they related to Holden very strongly. I'm not saying I was without angst and indecision and gormlessness when I was a teenager - of course I had all that going on, as we all do. I just felt like the book slogged on about all that without any forward movement. We grew up and (hopefully) left most of that behind us. Holden showed no signs of that character progression. I didn't find his institutionalization (an outward force) to be a sign of good things to come, so he was obnoxious at the beginning and presumably medicated at the end. That was not satisfying growth to me.
