is it any good? did you find an answer?
ziq OP wrote
he thought lennon was a phoney. he got old and rich and festered creatively while continuing to have a stranglehold on the culture, holding humanity's collective evolution back and soiling the supposed counterculture with his establishment vibe
i read it too long ago to say if it was good. like 20 years

actually, it was good. not because of the plot or story, but because it completely captured the mind of a spoiled white boy and his vapid empty existence

I can't imagine why J.D. Salinger is so widely read. Catcher in the Rye is about a young guy who goes to New York City and has absolutely no fun, while he's there. Talk about a social fantasy...
