snarking about how Catcher in the Rye "fails" because Holden is a "whiner."
I've got news for them: there are a fair amount of fiction out there with protagonists that aren't necessarily that likeable! (sic--British usage is better here.) (A few years ago I read TCITR up to when he visits some neighbor's house. I really need to read the whole novel.)
Even though I've read all my life just like you, there were various grammatical and spelling mistakes I had been making that I didn't catch until I was in my 30s. Oh, well.
I have the first edition hardcover of Skeleton Crew. I heard The Mist was one of the better SK adaptations out there. I'll have to put in on my To See List. For that matter, it's been awhile since I last read SK.
