"On The Road" by Jack Kerouac ****
- Audiobook.....narrated by Will Patton
- US author
- Originally published 1957
- "I was halfway across America at the dividing line between the east of my youth and the west of my future."
- Review: The highlight of this book was narration by Will Patton. He does an excellent job with this book and has on others that I have read. What can I say that hasn't already been said about this novel? It is almost anti-climactic to read it after living with its icon status for so long. I enjoyed it, was not wowed by it, yet realize that at the time it was written it was groundbreaking. The writing was excellent, and I think I give it four stars because I know that because of groundbreaking, stream-of-consciousness first person narratives such as this, others have thrived. It was a bucket list read, and worthwhile to boot!
