Many novels are narrated by children, whose inexperience makes them inherently unreliable. In '' The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn '', for example, Huck 's inexperience leads him to make overly charitable judgments about the characters in the novel; in contrast, Holden Caulfield , in '' The Catcher In The Rye '', tends to assume the worst.
Many have suggested that ''all'' first-person narration, and indeed narration generally, is inescapably unreliable.
