"On the Road" swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognized as a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than Scott Fitzgerald, and it goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion.

Glorious! - Steve ThompsonThis book describes exactly what the mind wants you to do when you are a teenager. If I'd have read this in my teens I think this could have driven me completely off the rails because it incites such passion and a real desire to be utterly crazed. - Barry Lewis Write a review
