Holden's Voice

I really J.D. Salinger's style and use of language. By having Holden "tell" the story, I can really connect with the book. It almost seems like someone is telling me their life story and the things they are going through every day. I don't feel like I'm reading a book but rather listening to someone telling me stories. I think it's very effective because it holds my attention and makes me want to read more. Holden seems to be a very interesting character. I can imagine how Holden talks, how he looks like, and how he interacts with others. Holden seems like a regular teenage boy in high school telling his friend what his daily life is like.
