Query: Just Awful

The book was, quite simply, awful--a coming of age story for functional illiterates. Not only does it allude to a lot of much better books, the ending is stolen straight from The Catcher in the Rye. But Charlie's no Holden Caufield, just weepy kid with nice parents, nice friends--hell, he's bereft of angst! Chbosky should forfeit his royalty checks and start sending them to Cornish, NH, care of Mr. Jerome David Salinger.
