A really interesting read. Kerouac's debut isn't nearly as well-known as On the Road, but it deserves some more attention. I enjoyed reading this, and I think any fan of his more famous novel will find it rewarding as well.

Jacks first major publication, written well and takes place in two distinct locations. Mentioning but using different names for different members of the beat era. Written in a different style than his later work, worth checking out.

Great for fans of Kerouac, to discover his first book, what came before On the Road. The one caveat is that this is the type of book that will be best enjoyed in hard copy rather than e-book.
