Upon J.D. Salinger's death I was reminded of what made me go to Barnes & Noble and buy the book: I sat in on a teaching demonstration for a Medical Assistant instructor. After she gave her demonstration she commented that she needed to leave so she get to her son's HS where they were requiring him to read this book. (She thought this was an abomination.)
Of course, I crossed Edgewood just to buy this book I hadn't read.
Sadly, I didn't find it to be an abomination; I found it to be boring. So a young guy goes to New York City and has sex with a prostitute. Bad things happen to him. Why on earth would anyone on the right oppose that?
