I honestly can rate this book only a 3. Yes, the characters are vivid, if weird and unusual. Yes, Salinger writes like no one else with an almost conversational tone in some of his first person characters. Some of these stories are like a slice of life, where the written words on the page end but without a climax or even solid conclusion. The written words just stop as if we had reflected on something or watched something in life or in a movie and then moved on. Strangeness abounds.
