Most of Kerouac is overrated except for On the Road and the Dharma Bums, maybe some of Visions of Gerard. His life was more interesting then his prose. Same for Burroughs.
I actually think The Stranger is overrated, and I'm a huge Camus fan. Honestly, I even think A Happy Death is better. But then again, I also read The Stranger in a slightly strange way.
sorry. it was okay. i guess it's just the fact that it's supposed to be a kids books and i couldn't figure out what point the author was trying to make. maybe if i read it again some rainy day.
