 The tempo is as manic as Dean's impulses. It has some excellent scenes, vivid descriptions, every character is somewhat of an oddball. All-in-all a solid and enjoyable novel. But for some reason I couldn't stay awake while reading it.

 En quoi ce livre est-il le symbôle d'une génération ? Dans sa description d'un itinéraire à travers les Etats-Unis ? A cause de ses personnages hauts en couleurs ? Je ne sais pas. Ce que je sais c'est que cela n'est pas du au sensation transmise par l'auteur.

 Truly revolutionary, influential, and thought provoking. There are plenty of myths and stories about the book, but it must be read to see where we were at this time in history.

 I couldn't get into Kerouac's style of writing. It didn't hold my interest.

 Pai da Geração Beat, Kerouac teve uma vida intensa, conturbada e breve. Deixou vários escritos brilhantes, entre eles On the Road, uma viagem pelos Estados Unidos, mostrando todas as suas mazelas e as suas virtudes.

"Minha primeira carona foi num caminhão carregado de dinamite, com bandeira vermelha e tudo, uns cinquenta quilômetros pela esverdeada amplitude do Illinois, com o caminhoneiro apontando o lugar onde a Rota 6, onde a gente estava, se juntava com a Rota 66 antes de ambas mergulharem nas imagináveis vastidões do Oeste."

 "...the prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines." That was one of the reasons I moved back from LA to Iowa - OK, not really.
