Sleeper in the Rye

Sorry, that should have been Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger's classic novel. I had heard so much about this book that I just had to read it. From the way that it is described, I thought it might have been subtitled "Killing 101" or something. Instead I am bored witless. This is a dull repetitive book. Holden Caulfield is a self-centred, self-serving, narcissistic wanker. Now I suppose this may have been a ground-breaking book in 1951 but I cannot imagine what anyone would find interesting in this book today.
I am completely and utterly disappointed by this book.
