took me a while to finish coz of life but i loved how long it took me, because the book really provided me with a source of escapism, so it was really nice to spend so much time with it

This was a difficult one to get through. I didn't despise it or enjoy it.

Read this during a strange period of my life and found real comfort in the idea of someone leaving everything and all common sense behind.
Keroaucs romantic descriptions of roadside beauty and spirituality really struck me in a special way. Sal's fascination of and love-hate-relationship with Dean may be one of the best depictions of friendship between men ever depicted.
Beware though, this is an old book with bewildering moral ethics.

Vrij bizar boek. Het boek gaat met een noodvaart maar was toch een uitdaging om doorheen te komen. Het houdt niet op, gaat gewoon constant door. Geen tijd voor plot of context of het introduceren van karakters of wat je normaal in een boek zou verwachten.

Van de ene kant van Amerika en weer terug en weer heen. Karakters verschijnen en verdwijnen. Dean wordt steeds manischer, Sal eigenlijk ook.

Af en toe prachtige zinnen, en ergens knap hoe dit boek volstrekt gestoord was. Tegelijkertijd te moeilijk om door te komen, te plat en te seksistisch voor meer dan 2 sterren.
