Not as Horror-y as I had imagined, slow moving and moving, HAHA. Would reccomend this for people who like classic Lit rather than stuff Steven King writes.

Quite a let down. The ending is forced and the whole book is rather slow. Best cover art ever though.

Really un-rewarding read, I know english buffs would care to argue. reccomend it for Woman who are in romance novels with A LOT behind them, no Danielle Steele.

I read this years before Oprah found it, Yes I win!!!!!!!!! I thought it was frankly the worst book that I have ever read. It goes on and on, you care nothign for the narrator the book is real hard to swallow i.e. he gets like 6 root canals w/o meds, he kills a cop? ruins his teacher creadit report for life after she gives him a bad grade etc. I could go on. Don't read this, although in hindsight, now that it is proven fake, it may be quite funny.

Really trippy for the 50's. Kind of Naked Lunch and Dickinson. Hard to follow I read it simultaniously with a cliffnotes.

This book is very good if you read it like poetry i.e. random pages at a time. It doesn't make sense since it is not supposed to. I highly reccomend reading the history about it before hand or else it just seems like a long trip. I found out later that the first chapter is the ending from Junky, and that is going off drugs snad hallucinates, I just thought that he has Hallucenating that whole time. Fun though.
