Reviews
"Life is great, and few can put the zest and wonder and sadness and humor of it on paper more interestingly than Kerouac." - San Francisco Chronicle, "An authentic work of art . . . the most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat,' and whose principal avatar he is." --Gilbert Millstein, The New York Times " On the Road has the kind of drive that blasts through to a large public. . . . What makes the novel really important, what gives it that drive is a genuine new, engaging and exciting prose style. . . . What keeps the book going is the power and beauty of the writing." --Kenneth Rexroth, San Francisco Chronicle "One of the finest novels of recent years. . . a highly euphoric and intensely readable story about a group of wandering young hedonists who cross the country in endless search of kicks." --Leonard Feather, Downbeat

- a***a (61)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping and Packaging were good, but the book was in worse condition than I anticipated, and was not as described. There was some bubbling on the cover (pictured in original posting) but the plastic on the spine has fully separated (not pictured). Also there was writing inside the book that was not pictured or disclosed. Overall it was a good price, but I wish I had known more about the book condition before purchasing it.East by Edith Pattou (2005, Trade Paperback) (#136078466313)
