My opinions I really like the idea of this book. I like the image of a long road, silence, dawn and melancholy. Personally I think that for the explication of feelings in this situation it is necesarry to write in on more than only 70 pages. In my opinion it was very rigorous. I like the way how Kerouac expresses his opinions on the society. I really like the idea of this book. I like the image of a long road, silence, dawn and melancholy.

The original was written on a 10-meter-long paper without punctation - that´s why Kerouac had problems with publication of his book. He had to wait 6 years for it.
