3rd (and last?) post for catcher

Holden seems to try and dislike people and find their weaknesses and bad qualities. The only people he seems to care for are his dead brother and his sister Phoebe who he has a very close relationship with. Holden is also fascinated and picks up the smallest things including the ponds at the pond. I have almost finished the book but I still find it to my disliking.

I think that his finding things wrong with people is a good point. I think that he does this because he almost is afraid to feel attached to someone new because he is afraid of losing the like his brother. So he pretty much just makes up excuses to shut people out of his life so they cannot get close enough to hurt him again.
