This review is for other readers like me: just because something is a classic, doesn't mean you have to enjoy reading it. By all means, attend to the significance and cultural impact of great works. It doesn't mean you will enjoy reading it, nor should you feel obligated to spend the hours if you do not derive personal benefit. Thank you and goodnight!

Heart wrenching and thought provoking in the most beautiful way. I was every character in the book.

I have mixed feeling about this book.
At first, I thought the writing was superior and the reading experience was great. However, as the story went on and on, I started to see myself getting bored. Also, it became a bit uninteresting at times.
Even then I understand the historical value and the importance of this title in literature. After all, the beat generation wouldn't be what it is now if it weren't for Kerouac's On the Road.
