Combine elements of William S. Burroughs, Susanna Kaysen (Girl, Interrupted), Neal Cassady, Hunter S. Thompson and yes, her own father Jack Kerouac, and the result is a fascinating, well written interesting glimpse of life on the edge during the Beat/Counter Culture eras.
If you are a fan of Jack, his daughter's moving novels are sure to be a hit. So many similarities in their writings, save this one with a feminine, mad hunger that only a woman could possess.
