| | 1. |  | On the Road
from Lightyear Press
Price: $27.32
Customer Review:
I don't need to say much, because I see I'm not alone here. I honestly don't know how anyone can read this whole book. I picked it up really excited to read it and just couldn't get through it. I asked a friend what the big deal with Jack Kerouac was, if I was missing something, he said it was the... more info

| | 2. |  | On the Road: The Original Scroll
from Viking Adult
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
OK, I tried to read this several times with no luck. It is quite possibly the most boring non-story ever committed to paper. There is no plot, no story, no sympathetic (or otherwise engaging) characters, no compelling reason whatever to read this book. It is essentially a rambling tome about the... more info

| | 4. |  | Factotum
from Black Sparrow Press
Customer Review:
"Factotum" is a story that goes nowhere but around and around.
It's the same thing: Henry gets a job, gets a chick, tons of drinking and getting drunk,loses or quits the job, is poor, gets another job, a new chick, more drinking, loses or quits the job....etc....
"Ham on Rye" and "Post... more info

| | 6. | [no image] | The Dharma Bums
from audible.com
Price: $8.21
Customer Review:
As bad as it may sound I had not heard of Jack Kerouac until very recently. In my defense he died a year before I was born and although I have always been a reader it took until now for my reading interests to expand and give me this opportunity. I am enjoying Dharma Bums a lot as it speaks of... more info

| | 7. |  | Big Sur
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
"On the Road" gets all the attention. I stumbled through that novel, thought it was interesting. Then I saw this book, "Big Sur", in a bookstore and felt that because I was familiar with the area that this would be a nice read. When I finished this book I was sad with the fact that I would never... more info

| | 8. |  | Desolation Angels
from Riverhead Books
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Jack Kerouac's 'Desolation Angels', written about a period of his life roughly 10 years before his death, acts as a nice bridge between 'On The Road' (which was awaiting publication during the course of events described in "Angels") and a subsequent publication, Big Sur, both of which I've read.more info
