Maybe I read it wrong but to me, Holden was never someone we were supposed to fully align with. He’s even sort of an unreliable narrator I would even say. I think we’re always meant to laugh at him a bit.

I disagree. He's troubled, yes, unreliable, yes but there are aspects of his character that are good. It's clear he isn't a bad kid, but a troubled one.
