รู้สึกว่ามันผูกพันกับบริบทบางอย่างในสมัยนั้น ทำให้เราอ่านในช่วงอายุนี้แล้วรู้สึกว่าโฮลเดนเป็นคนน่ารำคาญ (แม้จะมีส่วนที่เราเกือบจะเข้าใจหรือ related กับเขาแล้วก็ตาม) คิดว่าถ้าเราอ่านตอนเด็กกว่านี้คงจะอินมากกว่านี้ อีกอย่างรู้สึกว่ามีหนังสือหลายเล่มได้รับแรงบันดาลใจจากเล่มนี้ไปเยอะเหมือนกัน แล้วเราเพิ่งได้อ่านเล่มนี้ทีหลัง

This is a great little book that makes you look inside yourself and people you're with.
If you don't like the book because you don't like Holden Cauldfield, you're missing the point.
I admit it is not a pleasant book to read. Holden is not someone that I would like to spend any time with, let alone listen to him rant on and on. But after I get past that, it is not about Holden anymore. It's about all of us.

One of my favourite books since I was a teenager. I own it and re-read it every now and then.
