Negative Positive
Title: Never have understood the appeal of this book
Review: The language is dated, the protagonist annoying. I was assigned this in high school decades ago and reread it recently. Its appeal is still lost on me, but I suspect its fans are readers who came of age in the 50s, a naive and long ago time now, and that young readers today, or even those of us who are not Boomer age, find it outdated and pointless, kind of like its author's disappearing act, tho I liked Salinger's other books.
Is the review positive or negative?
