Precisely shreya, it may seem simple dialogue but like innocent children when they speak with no fear, (if you have had a conscious connection with a child) they can be 'hard hitting' and very revelatory for adults. Because they are sinless, and i think part of this book explores innocence in such depth in the dialogue that it can bring about intense emotion -but only if the person can empthasize and bring himself to understand Haulden -the troubled teen.
I was told by someone also, that there is a reason why he's deeply troubled, and that's because there is a subtext of paedophilia. I thin that's what the book is really about. He or somebody in his family must have had some kind of trauma, and I think the book is basically about that, especially because of how Holden wants to save all the kids from falling off the cliff. He was traumatised by the abuse of children, and how adults really corrupt children.
This book is not just for enjoyment or amusement, like any imaginative literature, but actually there is a lot going on if one has the mind and soul to glean from it.
