I'm glad I didn't read this when I was younger. ( ) A great read, with an ending that stunned me to the point that I read the book all over again the very next day, which is the first and only time I've ever done that. A highly pleasurable read too, this one can be finished in a day if you set aside three or four hours, time which is of course hard to find but well worth it for this one. Posted on my blog, I wrote a short essay for a course in university called "The Open Road in North American Narrative," placing this novel in context with other road narrative films and books, from "On the Road" to "Easy Rider" to "Sideways."

I love his prose....he is an incredible wordsmith. I hated the subject of the book though....the drugging drining driving pointless adventure....something Hunter Thompsonesque, who I dont enjoy. In between however, is a glimpse of an incredible writer...I hope the next read is more enjoyable however...without the drivel. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Along with the tape deck for the car, the liquor, and the drugs, there was also a case of dynamite. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
