closest american fiction has come to the mastery of a flaubert. pretty much perfect prose.

I loved it in high school, no idea how I'd feel about it now. I like some of Salinger's other works a great deal.

To me, it's Salg's best. Joyce level.

No, because it's too mainstream for /lit/. I liked it, but I'm not a pretentious hipster.

Salinger's weakest work. Still enjoy it though,

I kinda prefer Franny & Zooey.

For a second there I almost wrote "Franny vs. Zooey." I would read that as well.

I like it, but it is NOT a young adult book. Holden is far too complex a character for teenagers to understand.
Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters is a far better story.
