I am not going to rate this one. It’s very dated. It’s Catcher in the Ryeish but not as good. It’s a short book and it took me awhile to read it. I read 30 other books while reading this one. It didn’t keep me interested. At all. I almost DNF’d it but I’m no quitter. Kidding. I totally am. I’m sure it was a reading requirement at one point. I probably would have enjoyed it more when I was in HS. It’s actually a good book to have a discussion over. It just didn’t work for me.
