Holden

I really, really, really, don't like Holden. Sure, he's had tough experiences and all, but his personality is just... meh. For one, he's hypocritical. Some of you that are reading this might say "Oh, well, everyone's a bit hypocritical!" That's true, but he condemns other people for doing the same things that he does. He's willing to hate people just because of little things, and then from there he jumps to them being "phony." For example, Stradlater is a "secret slob" or in other words, "phony" because he pops his pimples privately. Wow. Honestly, I was thinking "this dude needs to go out more." He sees nearly everyone as "phony," but he isn't willing to look at himself and really try to recognize and evaluate what he's doing. If he actually did look at himself and compare it to what everyone else did, he'd probably look at things differently.

- I haven't finished reading the book, so it's only so far.
