Do you think Holden from the catcher in the rye is a reliable narrator? Why or why not

Holden is known to be rather dramatic at times. He also narrates in a cynical tone, so no, he is not a reliable narrator.

Holden has a high propensity for lying, exaggerating occurrences, contradicting issues and bears a negative attitude towards other people. This makes him an unreliable narrator since there is a probability that most of his narrations are not truthful.
