Book Reviews of On the Road (Essential Penguin)
Book Review: Superb - a true classic READ IT !
Summary: 5 Stars
This book changed my view of how popular culture has developed in the last thirty years. I found it hard at first to accept that this book was written so long ago, with the attitudes it expresses and the language employed showing that today's so-called modern attitudes are not so modern after all.
I really enjoyed reading this book - the way the characters build progressively and the in-depth description of experience make this a true modern classic.
