Author: Jack Kerouac Pages: 273 Genre: Poetry Rating: 3 stars Thoughts on the book: This is a decent book. It wasn't the best book I've read by Kerouac though. However, I have read way worse books of poetry by other writers. Book of Blues does have some interesting parts though. For example, there is one part that's written in all French. I'm glad I ran it through a translator because it turned out to be the best part of the book in my opinion. It doesn't take long to read it and it's not a bad way to spend the day . I just expected more from Kerouac but, it's still not bad. I have to give it 3 out of 5 stars.
