Beware of Ginsberg!
This isnt my favourite of Jack's work, but fans will know what their in for and it provides plenty of his poetic ramblings. I have found myself drinking more green tea after finishing this.
When I saw this was narrated by Ginsberg I was really excited, but I feel though he obviously gets Jack, and the work better than anyone, the recording quality and reading itself was detrimental. I had to fuck with eq settings to be able to listen to this properly , and often the Ginsberg accent and accents of syllables got a little too much.

Vintage Kerouac - descriptive and entertaining
Jack Kerouac's running narrataive style of writing can be hard to follow at first, but once you get used to it, it flows easily.
He has a whimsical way of describing things as they happen, and a charming look at life. The description of his few months spent as a lookout on Mt Desolation was a highlight for me.. it really brought the experience to life with all the tedium, occasional deprivation and moments of great joy.

Can't hear it
The audio may as well have been recorded in a microwave while the narrator screamed the words from outside. Pretty annoyed as I can't register anything in the car.
