A review by bruinuclafan
On the Road by Jack Kerouac

3.0

Culturally, you can see why the book was so successful and the appeal of it. On the other hand, the book just isn't that good. Not bad, but not particularly amazing. Still, an interesting tour of America and beyond, featuring Sal and Dean. There is one paragraph in particular that struck me--where they are looking at a few old photographs where they actually look respectable, and Sal realizes that when his children see the photo, they will think he had his life together at that time when in reality it was a total disaster.
