I read the book. It's decent, but I don't know why it was banned, besides the murder that was caused by it. All it really talks about is a named Holden and his struggles between him wanting to be an adult and still wanting to be a kid. He smokes, he cusses, he wants to have sex, he wants to be better then he already is (which isn't much), he is basically every high schooler. He annoyed me alot, but the book was decent. I just don't get why it was banned. The book was kinda boring. Read it if you want, but I think it was a waste of time.
