Title: Overrated as Hell
Review: I can't believe so many people like this novel. It reads like Salinger sat down and wrote it in one night, making it up as he went along. It's repetitive and pointless. The language is so trite and corny, Holden comes off as unrealistically dorky. There's really nothing approaching a plot; he just wanders around ranting about nothing. I guess maybe a lot of people like it because they relate to Holden, but I don't. It has nothing to do with cynisism; it has to do with being a whiny, obnoxious ADHD head case. I give it two stars for being fairly original and innovative (for better or worse) in its day.
Is the review positive or negative?
