“I bought this for my husband for Christmas and I ended up actually reading it.I love anything Taschen.”
“Completely overrated. I feel like its a book that everyone feels they are supposed to love. I don't know, I read it when i was 18, maybe I should have been younger.”
“Drove me completely nuts. Rather watch the movie, honestly.”
“My favorite Kerouac. Mostly due to it's dealing with "romance" I read it at the perfect time and felt pretty connected to it at that point in my life.”
“Hilarious. Hilarious. An easy read, but I think it would be quite suitable for a plane trip down to Florida (where the story is set). I'm gonna re-read it on the way down to the Keys in September. Perfect way to waste time.”
“Another favorite peice of contemporary southern lit. New Orleans couldn't be any a better scene for a story to take place. Despite my desire to throttle the anti-hero Reilly, it was a very entertaining read.”
“Everybody will say the same. . . Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Pathetic, romantic, humurous, slightly erotic and very sweet. My absolute favorite. Kubrick did an excellent adaptation, but the book could never be done justice on the screen.”
“An easy and very enjoyable read. I love every aspect of southern culture - the bizarre names, proverbs, and characters. Sailor and Lula are my favorite couple in all lowbrow lit (for lack of a better term). This happens to be my most favorite David Lynch movie as well, although slightly skewed in translation., however to the story's benefit.”
“I adore this book. She makes the repulsive romantic and normal abnormal. Amazing characters. ”
“One of my favorites from grade school. I think I should re-read it every 10 years . . . It's been awhile. ”
