Title: hopefully won't be a classic for long
Review: This so called classic is the most uneventfull, uninspiring, and repetetive book I have ever read. If you take out Holden Caulfield's complaining, you may have 5 good pages of material. As I started reading this book, after about 25 pages I thought it would get better once the story started, but lo and behold... there is no story.Ok, heres a summary, for all potential readers. A troubled teen fails out of school-complaining-, goes into New York city-complains. Thinks about calling a few people-complains. Gets a prostatute, talks to her for a couple of minutes-complains. She leaves-complains some more. Gets in a fight-complains a little. Goes to a bar-complains. Goes on a date with an old friend-complains. Goes to another bar-complains, and so on and so forth.This story is definately not worth reading, though I have several friends that liked it, I definately wouldn't recommend it to anyone that wants a good read.
