I am traveling with him when I'm reading.
There is no paragraphs in this book. Everything flows like the river, and every event that happens in the book goes by very fast. There are no stops existing and no time to rest. An event is happening constantly, and Jack and his writing goes on and on forever. I think it is interesting how Kerouac's writing, reflects how life is and how his hitch hike journey is. He writes about this journey as if he had just finished his journey and was talking about it like a "Traveler's story souvenir ". His story is full of colors and the people Jack meets (they are all so weird) during his journey makes the color of Kerouac's journey more interesting.

This is what I love about this book, because it is a never ending journey. Never really knowing where Jack plans to go next is exciting. His friends are strange, but I feel that there is a reason for that. Jack is a somewhat drawn in character, while his friends are out going.
Yeah, I feel like I'm reading a guide to hitchhiking or something. It's really nice to know, during that time period, what might happen. His story is kind of like a wave, up and down, side to side, you never know what's going to happen really.
