Catcher is wonderful. If I'm being a bit of an ass some days, I may say that people who dislike it have forgotten their youth, the truth of being on the cusp of adulthood and the deep wonder and meaning everything held at that time. I'm sure not all criticism boils down to being a cynic, but a lot of it does.
But in truth, and if I am being a little more self reflective, I love Catcher in the Rye because I was eleven and gifted it by my brother, who told me Holden Caulfield was his role model. I don't think you can undo what impact that has on a young person's heart.
