Have I read this before: Nope.

Review: So this isn’t really a review of the book, but I was just looking up more info on it on Wiki and it says that Updike wrote the book as a response to Kerouac’s On the Road. I didn’t catch that explicitly when I read it, but now that I know that, I can really tell some of the same sorts of themes and even the same sort of style. Before I was going to write this blog I was thinking of comparing the book’s overall vibe to On the Road. So that’s cool.

Favorite Part: I really liked the opening of this book. I didn’t know what to expect from the book ‘cause I knew nothing about it, and was excited after reading the first several pages. That enthusiasm kind of wore off for me, haha, but that beginning was a great hook.
