On the Road by Jack Kerouac Book Summary

The classic novel of freedom and the search for authenticity that defined a generation

September 5th, 2017 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of On the Road

Inspired by Jack Kerouac's adventures with Neal Cassady, On the Road tells the story of two friends whose cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience.

One of the greatest books ever. Kerouac's mastery of the written language is unbeatable. Reading this book, I felt as though I was actually traveling along with Jack on his travels through the country not just reading about them after the fact. On the Road taught me a lot; about myself, about the world, about humanity. After you read this version be sure to check out the original scroll version, it's much better in my opinion as it was unedited and as Kerouac meant it to be.

Great book, bad editing. The actual book itself was really not too bad. A semi-repetitive book exploring the beat generation and the explorations of life and death (per the last names of the main characters). The editing of this book however brings my rating down a star. Horrible editing making the book, at times, impossible to read.

Great. Book. Kerouac is a brilliant story teller if you can get past grammar & mechanics.

Pure nostalgia of the Western dream. I can see how Jim Morrison was inspired by Jack Kourac, he describes the in the beat culture with characters like Dean Moriarty you can put a clear glance of what the prime intellectuals of the beat movement where all about.

On the Road. An inspirational and fun read. Perfect for those searching for an adventure.

Why?. Great novel. How can this electronic version cost more than the real book?

Great book, lousy editing. The story, as ever, is great. But the editing in this version is just lousy. Misspellings, missing letters and punctuation, phrases only half italicized. No good excuse when this book has been around so long and gone through so many editions.

Energetic and Enthralling. It’s a roller coaster all the way through and I didn’t stop thinking about this book even when I wasn’t reading it.
