7] I liked the book, I read it easy and in two days. The language is easy and the boy Holden compares a little bit with me, my formal youth. But now I changed and i think Holden also did after the book ended. It was like I read my own biography. I also like the slang it is tild in, that makes it a little bit formel.
Citate: ‘stop calling me Ackley kid’, God damn it. I’m old enough to be your lousy father.’
