What's missing is the effortless character charisma Salinger provided. It does no damage to the 1951 bestseller. The Catcher in the Rye continues to stand on its own, unassailed.

At 91 J.D. Salinger died, after many years in seclusion. Perfect. What better way for a genius novelist to live his life. Cranky and fiercely private. Just how Holden would want it.
