The first chapter starts the book off on a good foot. I like the first person style of the author. It shows the voice of the “intellectual” narrator, Sal Paradise. Sal is a depressed writer living in New York in the late forties. He hangs out with a eclectic group of friends who I am excited to hear more about. I also like the character Dean Moriarty. So far he is described as a wild womanizer. He is married to Marylou who, to me, sounds like a ditsy blonde. I can't imagine that they will last. From the description of Dean you know he will be a trouble maker. He was just released from jail and hails from Colorado. This is his first time in New York City. Keroauc uses great detail when he describes his characters. I feel like they are standing right in front of me.
