I have to thank you @chris-chris92 for this insight! I have never heard of the John Lennom's death and the popularity of Catcher in the Rye in his death, but I am struck by how much certain commentators on the book have the same thoughts as I do. Thank you so much for this.
Holden was someone who couldn't tolerate hypocrisy, he detested it, even from his own father.
I will implore you to let go of sentiments and read the book, just to be your own judge and not influence your thinking by the statements of others.
@chris-chris92, it was actually Mark David Chapman, his assassin, that read it. It is said that he was heavily influenced by the book, policemen said upon coming into his apartment to arrest him, he was flipping through the book.
