Book Reviews of On the Road (Classic, 20th-Century, Audio)
Book Review: Don't Take this Secondary Rubbish - Read the Book !
Summary: 2 Stars
I read On the Road last summer, and cannot remember the last time i enjoyed a book so muchI thought i'd listen to the audio version to see how it compares and wish i hadn't
The cassette is viciously abridged and takes so much of the soul out of Kerouac's masterpiece. While the 'Story' remains, it is not this that makes OIn the Road so fanaatastic.
If you merely listen to this version of the book you will miss out on Kerouac's language and style, something that made the book a masterpiece in thefirst place. Jack is probably turning in his grave
