A story about a bunch of irresponsible scumbags traveling throughout America, having parties and impregnating women on their way. Makes for a pretty interesting story, but whoever thinks the “philosophy” this book preaches is worth a dime should be smacked.
Positive: | Negative: |
Almost psychedelic, soothing atmosphere of jazz | Preaches scumbagy philosophy |
Despite being awful human beings, characters are actually interesting | Some parts can come off as a bit dull |
Interesting to see in what crazy place will the characters end up next | |
Illuminating on vagrancy, and another side of the 19th century American culture |
