A review by sageysage
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

The protagonist is generally a likeable misfit but the age of the book is a bit challenging, with Black people being referred to as “coloured”, and regular sexist and homophobic diatribes.
