1. My first impression of this book was that it was going to be repetitive and boring because it was in the style of reading all of the author's thoughts. For example, the author started out discussing characters and going into depth with each one in a sort of whining fashion. After reading the first chapter or two, I was wondering to myself if the entire book would be the author complaining about everything. 2. The events …showed first 75 words of 475 total…

…showed last 75 words of 475 total…best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody'd move. . . . Nobody'd be different. The only thing that would be different would be you." It was quotes like that, that really made me think and appreciate was I was reading. I would recommend this book to others not necessarily because of what Holden thought about certain things, but rather how he expressed it. It was an overall good read.
