Book Reviews of Wake Up: A Life of the Buddha
Book Review: not his best
Summary: 2 Stars
i'm a huge Kerouac fan. this book was compiled or distributed or whatever you want to call it, to profit off his legacy. It rambles and it lacks the divine moments that can be had when reading on the road, the darma bums, or big sur. read darma bums if you want to see jack's true thoughts, feelings, experimentation, and journey into buddhism and religion and spiritual awakening.
