A review by drplantwrench
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
2.0
This is was a huge disappointment to me. Look, I like to think I'm cool and free and all that good stuff. This book is constantly mentioned as one of those books that Cool & Free (TM) people love, and I thought it would be mind-opening ride.
Instead, I got a bunch of pointless drivel of a dirtbag who doesn't even do anything. There were some moments of blissful freedom that gave me some hope of the book's recovery, but they ust move past it as if that wasn't what the book was looking for at all. Also has some other interesting moment, but like a vagabond, the book mindlessly moves on from it as soon as possible. Overall more nihilistic and pointless than I thought it would be, and pretty disappointing.
