I like!

I really enjoyed the first chapter of this book. The narrator, Holden is very secretive about his past and does not share anything about his childhood. It kept me interested and made me want to read more to figure out why Holden did not say anything about his past. I wanted to find out why he did not like discussing his childhood. I was somewhat shocked because many of the books I read with the narrator being the main character, he/she always explained about his past and then went on with the story.

Another thing I really like about this book is the way Holden narrated the story. The first time I heard about this book, I thought it would be very dry and boring but I really like the narrator's tone. It almost seems as if he is a friend of mine telling me his life story.
