it's painfully american (muh individualism, muh society is bad, muh do what i want), but it was done in a very sympathetic way. the chief character narration was done very well and the book was fun to read.

it's praised because it captures a certain time period/attitude of american culture extremely well. few serious readers would laud it as a timeless global masterpiece, but it does what it does well.

>why is this book praised so much?
it's a good book about the establishment trying to crush a person's identity. it's also well-written. the narration is pretty amazing considering how interesting the approach is.

>reading it was a chore desu
no book will please everyone. maybe it's just not for you. maybe you have shitty opinions.
