end of the book
I just finished Catcher and i really hated the ending. The book overall was pretty good and extremely detailed. I like when books are really detailed because sometimes we can relate to the books and it describes feelings rather than just what the characters are doing. The ending i think ruined the overall book and there should have been a better ending to fit with the well written portion of the book.

Holden's personality
I think that Holden has an extremely weird personality. At the start of the story it almost seemed as if he was very to himself and didn't like to be around other people. As the story continued, he seemed to lie a lot about who he was. For example, on the train when he met his friend's mom he started telling her a bunch of lies for his own amusement. I think this shows that he is ashamed and self-conscious about who he is. I also don't think he can accept the fact that he got kicked out of his recent school and he is slightly depressed about they way he presents himself as a person.
the character
When i first started reading the catcher, I noticed that Holden was an extremely weird kid. It almost seemed as though he didn't have many friends and wrote a lot to get his mind off a lot, especially his life. He loves his family, especially his sister Phoebe, which shows he has a sensitive side.
