A book review
Holden had quite complex character. He sometimes acts like a 13-year-old but in the same
time he can be quite reasonable. Holden´s mood swings and trastic changes of feelings could
even could mean that he had somekind of bipolar disorder. He could literally hate a person in
one second and love in the next. He criticises others alot for being phony. Only persone he
really seemed to be fond of was his little sister Phoebe.
The book has a slightly depressing undertone because Holdens thougts about the situation he
was in and his surroundings were often very gloomy. The lousy hotel where he stayed was
probably the gloomiest part of the book.
The author uses slang and repeats often same words which is essentially quite similar to
something that a teenager would do. This does not make, however, the text duller but makes it
more lifelike.
What surprised me was that even though it is about 60 years old but still alot of today's young
people face similar problems as did Holden
