5.0 out of 5 stars I am just in love with Kerouac, 31 Jan 2003

By	"blanket52" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Satori in Paris (Flamingo Modern Classics) (Paperback)

It's as simple as that! He can do no wrong in my eyes and so I think that perhaps I am somewhat biased in my views of his great pieces of genius and mind - okay, so you see? It depends on what genre you are in to. It is all about your style of writing. Are you okay with stream of consciousness, rambles about nothing and something and everything, are you okay with reading about someone else loves where there isn't really a beginning, middle and end, but you do on the other hand get to meet the most interesting, charming, intelligent people along the way! The thing is, people that you think you could actually be friends with. If you are shaking your head, and you want an AS Byatt (who don't get me wrong, I do adore) then perhaps Kerouac, any Kerouac, is not for you - but if you are like me and just want to be a part of his journesy, no matter where - then oh man, what a man!

4.0 out of 5 stars We'll always have Paris, 14 Sep 2006

By	Mim "Colours" (Out there) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Satori in Paris (Flamingo Modern Classics) (Paperback)

Years after dipping into "On the Road" and not being that impressed, I decided to give Kerouac another go. After reading "Satori in Paris", I experienced my own Satori. Kerouac's free flowing prose and his adventures in Paris and Brittany are engaging and easy to get into. He's attempting to trace his French roots and in doing so, meets various colourful characters, via a beverage or two.

Satori means enlightenment or awakening and Kerouac discovers this feeling on his French mini-odyssey. A good introduction to the man and his work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Satori in Paris, 9 May 2009

By	A. Deacon (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Satori in Paris (Flamingo Modern Classics) (Paperback)

This is the story of Jack Kerouac going to France (Paris and Brittany) to trace his roots. It is written in a languid style and you can almost hear the author narrating it. It is an easy read and was my first Jack Kerouac novel and it is very enjoyable. A good read on the train or in bed, in fact anywhere.
