I had high expectations for this book, which always adds pressure to a reading experience. I found the novel appealing with angry ant Holden reminding me in some ways of myself during high school, but I must confess that I missed the key message of this story. The characters lacked visible face for me, and the timeline of two or three days was a contributing obstacle. The "up yours" attitude of Holden's towards authority is a feeling all reading can relate to in their own ways. But I am still unsure what I was supposed to feel or understand better by the conclusion of this book. A decent novel, but it didn't sizzle for me. Nicholas R.W.
