10 Things Holden Caulfield Hates - Emily Temple - The Atlantic
Oh, Holden… growing up is hard to do.
The Book: “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger
Written by “Fardila Metavia” on Goodreads:
It is basically a shit book about this hypocrite little bastard named Holden Caulfield that bitch mostly about everything in the whole world and looks like he was going into some phase of “i-don’t-give-a-shit-of-what-other-people-think-of-me-they-fucking-hate-me-anyway” teenager kind of thing and got kicked out of his school because he was just the real douchebag you’ve ever met. And it has these lamest jokes I’ve ever read for my entire life. So you can imagine my disappointment when I hated it. Not only did I hate Holden, but I hated everything about the novel. There was nothing I enjoyed, except maybe that Old Phoebe, his little sister, I felt like pinching her in the cheek because she was just smart and pure intelligent and bloody innocent, one hundred and eighty degrees different from her stupid shitty brother.
Oh and the most coherent quotes I’ve ever got in this book is when Holden was bitching around. eg: People never notice everything. People always ruining things for you. People never believe you and some shit like that.
So, no. This is highly unlikeable for me.
