Book Reviews of The Subterraneans
Book Review: Incredibly Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
For someone unused to the Beat style of Kerouac or Ginsberg, this book came out of nowhere and is now the book I would recommend to all who have loved, who have lost, and who desire love in the loneliness of their lives. This incredibly elegant and beautifully written tale of love lost through mistrust and jealousy is a work of poetic genius, weaving the Beat streets of 40's and 50's San Francisco around you as you delve into the life of the Subterraneans. A love story, a race story, a story for all,it climaxes in an incredible paragraph that speaks volumes on the subject of love and loss. This is the one of the few books i would recommend to anyone. Shockingly unjustly treated in the recent BBC top 100 books poll.
