Review: Should be an illegal seller - Pages are not properly binded. Alternate pages were jot aligned Review: I am a bit of a weird 13-year-old in my views and opinions, the films I watch and like, the music I listen to and the books I read. I asked my English teacher if he'd read On the Road and what he'd thought of it. He told me he thought I should wait a few years before reading it basically because of it's content and the fact that the characters are laid-back, don't give a damn and take drugs. I'm glad I didn't take his advice (it was a bit late seeing as I'd already bought the book) because this is by far the best book I have ever read. The characters don't really give a damn, true, but laid-back they most certainly are not! Kerouac writes with relentless energy, and is such an interesting guy with all his stories (the majority of his works are semi-autobiographyical). Yes, Kerouac does mention some irrelevant things such as conversations with hobos or what he bought in a shop, but who cares about that when his story revolves around his admiration of Dean Moriarty, and their journey driving across America?! That latter part may sound like it could be rather tedious, but this book was written by Jack Kerouac, and he manages to avoid that. I love the part where Sal and Dean leave Carlo Marx in New York, and tell him they'll be back in thirty hours - they drive non-stop throughout the night, New York to Virginia in 10 hours. His unique writing style is something to behold, and at times it sounds almost poetic (the section in Part 1, Chapter 1 which starts with the sentence 'They pranced down the street like dingledodies...' is unforgettable). It's a shame that Kerouac died so young, and that he is only remembered for this book, because I think he had so much more to give. It's just fortunate that what he did give us, was On the Road. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #317,537 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #705 in Classic Literature & Fiction #1,531 in Literary Movements & Periods #2,098 in Literary Fiction | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (4,929) | | Dimensions | 2.79 x 13.46 x 20.57 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0143105469 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0143105466 | | Item weight | 442 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | 26 August 2008 | | Publisher | Penguin Group | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![On the Road : The Original Scroll - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819ddQGQwDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Should be an illegal seller *by A***R on 1 May 2021* Pages are not properly binded.
