abuseDear Author,
First of all, thanks for posting it up, holden is one of my favourite characters of all time:).
At first it really reminded me of the book, cause
a, how you start (lemme say...deus ex machina) its all like how h. would describe the situation
b, ~phraseology ('..and all'/ 'no kidding')
but if you read it for a second, third time, you realise the diffs...but thats natural...noone asked you to copy salinger, right?:)
so real good trial, i guess, keep up the good work:)
yay, you reminded me of holden^^ ty!

cheers,
b_chan

ps: read Gogol. hilarious

abuseYou definitely have Holden's voice down, but the actual content of this isn't him. I find it unbelievable that Holden, who wants to be everyone's catcher, would shoo ducks away instead of buying some bread for them. I also find it somewhat hard to believe that he would aspire to be a shrink. I think he might try skateboarding -- if they had skateboards in his time, a fact that I doubt.
It was a fairly good attempt and I congratulate you.
