I first read this book when I was 18, and loved it. I re-read it when I was in late 30s, and thought is okay. Now that I'm in my 50s and I've re-read it again with a little more life experience, years, and maturity, I have to say, I'm not thrilled with this. I know it's a classic and it's supposed to be this extraordinary story, and I'm sure it was when it first came out-but it has not held up well. Unpopular opinion: Holden Caufield is just a lazy, immature, spoiled brat.
