After hearing about it for so long, on vacation, I finally got around to tackling J.D Salinger’s classic. And just like the protagonist himself – I dont even know what the hell to think about the goddamn book. I really don’t.
As Holden begins his tale, apparently from a hospital of some sort, he takes us back to the recent past where he is struggling in every possible way as a high school student at Percy Prep ( A high – end sleep away school in Agerstown PA.) From there, the book is just one long Goddamn story Holden conveys to us, which includes encounters with teachers, peers, and other random people as he gets kicked out of Percy and returs to his home town: New Yory City.
As I am reading about Holdens escapades, I start to feel as if I know him… well. Holden’s story is shared with us – the readers – in a very conversationsl style; as If Holden and I were sitting in a coffee shop somewhere and he was simply filling me in on the last 12 months of his life. And I find myself relating to his story in two distinct ways:
First, it is obvious that he is in that akward stage that occurs somewhere between childhood and adulthood – terribly frusturated with everyone and everything, struggling to make sense of all that is happening around him. I too suffered through that stage and probobly would have connected with the charachter on an even deeper level had I read the classic back then.
Second, I am appreciating the descriptive and revealing sights and sounds of New York City, having been raised in Queens, spending much time in NYC growing up.
As this fairly ammusing story prgresses, I find myself ” rooting for Holden” – hoping that at the end he will become “enlightened”, turn a corner, get his act together.
Ultiamtely, I find myself wanting more – wanting to know how my friend Holden turns out. But for better or worse, as this ammusing tale winds down, the future and fate of Holden Caulfield is left to the imagination of the reader.
The system was in OK condition for not what I expected for what I paid. I had to replace the wireless bar that receives the remotes commands because the wire had been cut, and for that cost I could have just paid the extra 20.00 for a new system instead of 20 less for the used one. I am not real happy about this.
