I was very disappointed in this book, considering it's supposed to be a classic. The pretentiousness of the whole 'beat' scene was a surprise and I had absolutely no empathy for the characters.

I think a book that makes you feel something, anything, is always a good book. This one gave me all kinds of nostalgia for things i have never done, or seen, or felt. For that, this is a good book. Nevertheless, it became too much at times: too slow, too fast, too weird, too boring. It is a book that is so many things at once, and that is not always a good thing.
