The Voice Is All: The Lonely Victory of Jack Kerouac Audiobook

" I know the broad story of Kerouac's life, but I couldn't put this book down; it's been a while since I stayed up so late reading. "

" Not that well written. Jack is my MAN and this book could have done him better justice. Also as a side note, the women were treated terribly! All of the wives, girlfriends, etc...none were treated well at all...hard to read... "

" I'm in love with a dead man. "

" Johnson gave me a human Kerouac, far more dedicated and committed to being a novelist than I thought.he really wasn't having a good time. "

" In clear, highly readable prose, Joyce Johnson gives us a deep and detailed look at what drove Jack Kerouac. "

" A must miss. This is a drawn out, inflated, maudlin treatise of what should have been a footnote in a real JK biography. Instead, pick up your old copy of JK's poetry, settle in your favorite chair, savor each hard earned word and look into the man. "

" This is a biography of Jack Kerouac that focuses more on his writing than on the chaotic parts of his life. This book walks through Jack's evolution as writer, chronicling his life events but not getting lost in them. The focus of this book is his writing. "

" Wonderfully well-written look at Kerouac prior to the publication of "One the Road" "

" Very intimate and thorough history of Kerouac. He was a compelling man, and he was driven by so many personal experiences and the conclusions he drew from them. "

" This book was a great window into Kerouac's sense of dualism, his search for the self and his place on art and society. It talks about the biographical aspects of his work, and how he found his voice. "
