Road Rail River - Jack Adaptor

Advantages: thrilling read
Disadvantages: none

...Joy Fielding has been writing great suspense novels since about the early eighties. Each one I have read has been a terrific page turner which has kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through! Mad River Road was another such book and did not disappoint in the least! There are four main characters in Mad River Road. Jamie Kellogg is lonely and vulnerable. She has had one failed marriage and has just discovered that her boyfriend is actually married. When she meets the charming Brad Fisher, who says all the right things to her - telling her how clever and beautiful she is - she falls for him right away.

However, what seemed at first to be a dream adventure soon turns into her worst nightmare... Read review

Advantages: An expansive lyrical visionary dreamland
Disadvantages: Makes you wanna road trip sooo bad.

...I always knew I needed to escape the squalor and opression of life. I just never knew how. Until I read on the road by Jack Keruoac( who was quite hot in a James Dean kinda way but apparently a terrible sexist). It challenged my perspective, and ruined my cosy little life plan. On the road is so much more than a roadtrippin' travelogue. It's all the joy, sadness, limitation, freedom, love , hate, craziness ,heat and sweat of life.Our narrator Sal Paradise is a writer of the infamous beat generation. We're supposed to follow him, but everyone knows Sal's crazy monkeyboy buddy Dean Moriarty (Neal Cassidy in disguise) is where the real action lies. The book hurtles through smokey nightclubs, blue starry city nights across America in hot pursuit of...well, Dean mostly, and all the bug eyed wide open spaces and sleazy city scapes... Read review
