I like this book because I’ve thought about it often after reading it. I still think about the role of Maggie Cassidy in the story and if she is supposed to be a love interest or the antagonist. I think it’s a great example of characters’ interactions and how they develop the characters themselves. Kerouac is brilliant, this book is no exception to his excellent prose.
