Book Review:This is the first and often copied but never bettered novel which tells the story of youthful anxt.Holden Caulfield is rebellious and dysfunctional, but also very true to himself.He gets himself into precarious but very funny situations because of this anxt.He rejects the conventionality of the world around him but cannot see solutions.This is surely the predicament of youth, after all.
