A Wales kid at the hostel in Buenos Aires told me this is his absolute favorite book. I picked up the 'Original Scroll' version, but finally someone sold the original version at my work. Thought this would be the better first one to pick up.
A really easy read with the yearning to say 'fuck you' to our corporate slave jobs and yuppie lifestyle... brings out the do what you feel attitude - escape the city, hitchhike to the other side of the country, fall in love with innocence, drink and be high, share stories with strangers, sleep on car roofs, have no fear of the world - aka - people are out to harm you, debt, monogamy, gaining status. Dean has to be the best guy ever -always tearing shit apart, but has the energy and enthusiasm that we all need in life.
