The Catcher in the Rye First Impressions

   I really liked how the book started. I could compare myself to Holden when he talks about wanting a "good- by" when you leave a school. I've gone through that before. Holden, in my opinion, also resembles many teenagers in high school now a days. He did drugs and gets kicked out of schools. A lot of students can compare to those experiences. I do, however, have a question about the story: What time period does it take place? The part about his friend buying a Jaguar for four thousand dollars made me curious. All in all I'm excited to keep reading the story.
