 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.

 I was given this book by one of my best friends a couple of years ago. He was driving from CA back to Vermont. I never heard of the book when he gave it to me. Three years later I pick the book up and really love it. It's such a humbling book, Kerouac makes it seem very possible to travel across the country. He manages to do it more than once which makes for plenty of stories. I was really impressed with how detailed each paragraph is. For being a small book it took me about three weeks to finish. It's hard to review this book because it really speaks for itself. Free spirits must read!
