    • I love all of Jack's books, but this is possibly my favorite. I felt it was one of his most upbeat books. Buy this book and read it while standing on your head!

    • I tried to give Kerouac a chance to revive himself after reading his most notable mess 'On the Road.' Now I'm thoroughly confused as to why he's so popular.
