Catcher in the Rye

This was my first time reading this book. I suppose what I found the most interesting was that I would be reading along and feel rather connected with Holden, and then I would turn the page and think "What a jerk". Then I would find myself liking him again. It was quite easy to get engrossed in the story. I could almost hear his voice telling it. The writing style lent a definate edge to the easy communication. I really enjoyed this book. I know this is a short posting, but I am rather short on time right now, so I may come back and continue this discussion later.
