hejtmy 's review for:

The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac
3.0

I wasn't quite taken aback by the story or it's absence of. The book is read somewhat in conjunction of what it preaches, just a regular people doring regular things, being happy. It is a nice illustration of carefree life and reads nicely as such, yet I felt it doesn't offer the insight or spark I would have liked. At many parts, too long and inconsequential blocks of narrative, but maybe, that is what it is trying to convey all along. Not bad, not sure if I am going to reread it
