Catcher and the Rye

I think this book is okay so far. It will probably get very interesting as the book goes on. One think that really irritates me is the "phony" thing. I hate how he always says he hates phony people when he is phony. The first sentence of chapter three says that he is the best liar you will ever meet. And when he was with Mr. Spencer he kept giving fake, proper responses that he didn't mean.

I have mix feelings about Salinger as a writer. In one aspect I like him because I feel connected to the main character because it gives his every thought but I don't like how he is redundant. I think that he says some words a little too much like "boy" and "phony". Overall, I am willing to give this book a chance because I think it will get very interesting.
