I don't know how much I can say about this book that is really that interesting since it is pretty widely read and there are lots of good discussions of it available. As is typical of Kerouac's writing, there are parts where he gets a little rambly and self-indulgent and loses the reader; however, there are also some transcendent moments and fascinating observations. I particularly like the part at the end of the book where Kerouac tells about his time as a watchman at a fire outpost in the Pacific Northwest.
