I personally dislike the book.
I understand. I didn't like it when I read it the first time, either.
It is my dad's favorite book, though, and I decided to give it another try; it isn't much of an investment since it is less than 200 pages long. My experience reading it again, as an adult, was vastly different. I'm not saying that will be the case for everyone, but it certainly was for me.
And yes, Holden is kind of a whiny bitch. But that's the point!
