Every so often I try to read something that is considered a classic. This time I picked "The Catcher in The Rye" and did not enjoy it. The narrator, Holden Caulfied, was very whiny and complained through the entire book. I believe that if it was currently published that the main character would be classified as bipolar.
It starts just after Holden discovers he is, once again, kicked out of another private school. We follow him as he travels back to NYC, delaying the fact he has to face his parents. His mood swings are quite sudden and drastic, and is constantly swearing through his monologues. I am glad I did not have to read this in one of my classes!
