Well, Holden Caulfield is certainly a character. He reminds me of Jess in Gilmore Girls. Rebel without a cause :) I love reading about what he thinks because it's so different from how "normal" people thinks. I love how he loves his sister and his brother but basically hates everyone else. I love how the book is written like Holden is just talking to you casually. It's simply written. Not too deep with the use of words but not shallow in meaning. The plot is unpredictable which makes it all the more interesting. You really don't know where he's gonna end up next. and the ending was surprising and just a tad bitin. but after reading from Holden's POV, you can't really be surprised. All in all, He's now one of my favorite fictional characters :) The book was definitely a worth read :P
some quotes:
"That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they’re not much to look at, or even if they’re sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can."
"The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody’d move… . Nobody’d be different. The only thing that would be different would be you."
“What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. I mean I’ve left schools and places I didn’t even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don’t care if it’s a sad good-by, or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it. If you don’t, you feel even worse.”

ReplyDeleteHindi naman ako hardcore na paulo coelho fan na hahanapin ko pa yung page nya sa facebook. hehehe. nahook lang ako pagkatapos ko mabasa yung alchemist. nabasa ko na yung by the river piedra, ok sana yung story kaso nga lang emotera yun si Pilar eh. Ang gulo ng isipan nya! hahaha. try mo brida, veronika decides to die, tsaka 11 minutes. ayos yung mga yun. pero lately neil gaiman yung trip kong basahin. pangbata na ndi pangbata yung pagsusulat nya, yung parang nightmare before xmas at corpse bride na ginawang novel.
yep, d nman super deep ng to kill a mockingbird kc bata rin ung narrator.
