Book Reviews of Tristessa
Book Review: sweetness
Summary: 5 Stars
I can`t really review the whole book yet as I`m only on page 16, but so far this book is thick, and dripping in poetry. Kerouac is genius, unmistakable. I should have read this sooner--by page 16 it`s already more highly beautiful then 1000 other books combined. I`ll read the rest of it and write more later--Hopefully it`s more of the sameBook Review: true "beat" romance novel
Summary: 5 Stars
The length (short) of this novel causes it to be very efficient and effective. This story puts the MILLIONS of "Romance junk novels" to shame. Without taking off her bra or underwear, or his, Jack Kerouac paints the most beautiful-beatific emotionally wide-ranging "romance" / "life" story imaginable. Absolute mind-candy, the other reviews are right, makes you want to go to Mexico and have a good time-- even moreso if you are a poet or writer yourself.
