Title: Hitting the Road for the first time
Review: Amazingly, I picked up the Original Scroll at a used bookstore pretty cheap of all places. At first, I couldn't shake the thought that it might be some sort of mess without the use of paragraphs, chapters, etc. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The use of the real names of the people behind the entire book is also very refreshing as opposed to the names used in the normal "On The Road." Gives it more of a feel like a documentary of sorts to me. Admittedly, it is my first time reading any of Kerouac's work, but definitely a classic due to the language (wild at the time) and the "plot" since it was a radical thing during the 1950's with the subject matter. Definitely give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. As it is, I'm still reading my copy. Hope to read it for many years to come.
