Holden, good or bad

I think that Holden has both good and bad characteristics.  He is good because he is a very good listener in chapter 8 he listens to what Mrs. Morrow is saying the entire time even though he probably didn't want to listen.  what makes him bad though is he lies a lot and he shoots the crap.  In chapter eight he lies about his name and shoots the crap about Mrs. Morrows son and how cool he is when really he's a jerk to everyone.  overall i like Holden because he has good traits and bad but its hard to know someone that has nothing bad about them.
