Holden's voice is just abysmal. If he wasn't narrating it, it would be an alright book.

I loved The Catcher in the Rye, but I can understand why some people loathe it. The hype surrounding it doesn't help.

I first read it when I was twelve or thirteen, and I'm willing to admit that if I first read it when I was eighteen or older, it probably wouldn't have made quite the same impression on me.

What's great about that opening line is that it is honest - that is why it rings so true. It is not trite in anyway and shows that, in the end, everyone has a crap story to tell but not many people really care what yours is.
