I think that this book was my favorite book of the books would had to read. It just seemed alright when I was reading it but once I finished and looked back at it I realized how amazing it was. I really enjoyed reading it and it went really fast to me. I like how it was told from the main character's perspective. I felt like that gave me a lot of insight in the story and like I got to really get to know Holden. This story really made me think about people who have mental illnesses and made me feel really bad for them. I think the author did a really good job writing it. He really did make it sound like a sixteen year old wrote the book by the way the language and thoughts were. Of course Salinger had better grammar then a sixteen year old boy would have, though. I wish I could have found out what happened to Holden between the time he was telling us about and where he was when he was telling us the story. I wish I could find out what put him in the mental institution. I wonder if something really drastic happened or if he finally just told someone how he felt. I wish that I could have helped Holden with how he was feeling. Even if I could he probably would think I was annoying or phony. But, he seemed like a real person to me. I like how Salinger made him seem like a really good kid to and made you like him. Holden always cared for his sister and wanted to save sex for a special time. He was a very likable person. I think that also made the story easier to read. The pages just flew by and it seemed like it was over before I even got into it. Which can also be a bad thing. But, I had to get it done fast for school anyways so it was a good thing for me.
