: Everyone says they relate to this book, or to Holden Caulfield. IN what way? ...
: Instead I get a book about some ungreatful teenager who hates the world but that doesn't really know the world.
*This is pretty much EVERYONE at some point in there life, normally around the age of Holden. That is why so many people can relate to it. Most everyone has been lost at some point and confused about where they stand in this world. And many people are angry at the world they don't understand and it's not until a later age or until something happens to them that they are finally content with it.
