Not a "guy novel" at all. I read it around 20 and just thought it was a waste of time, nothing happened, just wandering around aimlessly like 90% of my buddies on their teenage years. The whole beat movement was just style over substance, pages and pages of nothing.

I guess I liked it because I was living in a small town and eager to see more of the world and people, get away from "small-town mentality". And hang out with "the cool guys" of course. I still think they were cool.
