I will also give a paragraph that was probably the best paragraph in the book, in my opinion.

Contemporary Literary Criticism Vol Detroit Mi Gale
2,078 wordsA recurring theme in J. D. Salinger's stories concerns people who dont fit in with the traditional American culture. Salinger's most successful tales are of those who cannot adjust to the real world. His main characters are super-intelligent humans who must choose between the phony real world (American culture) and a morally pure, nice world. Salinger's misfit hero[es] (Levine 498), unlike the rest of society, are caught in the struggle between a superficial world and a conscious morality. In th...
