A review by mnboyer
The Road by Jack London
2.0
I was really surprised that I was not a fan of this book. I enjoy London's other work, so I was excited to read about his experiences as a tramp. However, this just didn't hit home for me. It seems so distant from the classics that I enjoy from London.
This is interesting if you want autobiography. I know a lot of the fellow Ph.D. students that read this in the course I was in enjoyed it. However, if you're expecting a huge punch, this book just doesn't have it. There are some cute stories that I appreciated (hence the two stars). But a large majority of the book was just kind of "meh" to me.
