I really wanted to like this book, but it's a little slow for my taste. Great imagery and introspection into the characters, but it felt like having a conversation with a boring stranger and some bits. May be pretentious of me.

3.5 Stars. A really beautiful read but a mixture of the pace and the ATROCIOUS typesetting made this a freakin chore to get through.

Read for ENGL 3245: The Beat Generation
