Description
'I read On the Road in maybe 1959. It changed my life like it changed everyone else's' Bob Dylan Sal Paradise, a young innocent, joins his hero, the mystical traveller Dean Moriarty, on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink, sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a test of the limits of the American dream. A brilliant blend of fiction and autobiography, Jack Kerouac's exhilarating novel swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion. One of the most influential and important novels of the 20th century, this is the book that launched the Beat Generation and remains the bible of that literary movement.

Classics are classics
When you read this book, don't look for a plot. This book is by far the most beautiful in details and transferred epithets. You might feel like this book is going nowhere, but it is more about the journey and not the end.
Read for: Inspiration to get on the road; beautiful writing which is almost surreal; the style of spontaneous writing and the greatness of Jack Kerouac as a writer (yep they are all different aspect, read the book to find out).

The Beat Generation
There is a certain enigmatic romance of being on the road. It pulls in those with an adventurous soul. This book is meant for those souls.
This is an autobiographical story of Kerouac and considered one of his best works along with Dharma Bums. Kerouac wrote in a style of prose which is refreshing and without pretense. Kerouac wrote the script for this book in three weeks non stop, which is why the prose has a natural flow.
A must read for the thoughtful, adventurous and intrepid among us.

Four Stars
I'm still reading this book and I'm reading it slowly. Allowing myself the time to digest the whimsical rides the characters have taken. A nice representation for the way of life during that period. I just wonder if I could have been strong enough to leave this kind of life. A nice read.

Will change your life!!
Unique spontaneous style of writing. A very fast paced account of a man's journey to find his "self". Set in the late 40's and early 50's it heralded the emergence of what is called the beat generation.

A portrait of disarrayed young man.
This is really an interesting book to read, it's not any mundane book, it's quite intriguing, with all the wittiness, it's kinda travelogue, where the protagonist character Sal Paradiso has many Friends he travels many places with friends and sometimes alone, in that way he going to meet many new people and also he starts a family but it doesn't last long, its kinda a portrait of a disarrayed young man, who is in the course of discovering the meaning of life.

Brilliance!
If I published a dictionary, in it you could find the definition of a lost word, not spoken about the lips and tongue of man since the beginning of human existence nor by angelic beings since the creation of existence itself. The word is great brilliance and the definition is On The Road!
