Such a shitty ending.

i agree the ending wasn't the best in my opinion, but it was still a great novel.

So good. Such rich subtext. Such fantastic characters.

That's the part I hated.  The 'core irony' of the book made me hate the characters.  Of course, I read this as an angsty teenager, and the book was basically about me, so I guess that added even more to my hatred of it.

I loved The Great Gatsby. We had it assigned for English class and I finished it in one night instead of reading chapter by chapter as assigned for class. The Catcher in the Rye, however, was severely disappointing and I had to push myself to finish it.
