  1. Khushi Pandey

    Loved revisiting these classics! Ginsberg’s poetry is as powerful as ever. Kerouac’s prose is wonderful.

  2. Ayush Mishra

    A powerful and moving collection of poems and prose. Highly recommended.

  3. Aman Dubey

    Disappointed by the lack of context for some of the pieces. Needed more background info.

  4. Bharat Jaggi

    Some interesting pieces, but I found Burroughs a bit too out there for my taste. Overall, an okay collection.

  5. Rajat Jain

    It was a good read for the price. I would recommend the book to anyone wanting to explore the Beat Generation.

  6. Anup Mangwani

    This book is fantastic! The writings are so unique and different from other books I’ve read. Will read again.

  7. Aditya Gupta

    Enjoyed the variety of voices, but the editing felt a little uneven in places. Worth the purchase though.

  8. Aakansha Gupta

    Great starting point for exploring the Beat Generation. Will be reading more now!

  9. Rugved Deepak Tidke

    This book did not keep me entertained. I found the writing boring.

  10. Sumit Rakesh Mhatre

    I had trouble understanding some of the concepts in the book, but the writing was excellent. The book seems targeted to a certain demographic.

  11. Akash

    Uneven but interesting. Some gems mixed with pieces that didn’t quite resonate with me.

  12. Amisha Jain

    A good introduction to the Beats, but the selection felt a bit limited. Still, a worthwhile read for beginners.

  13. Divya Mekala

    Burroughs was hard to get through, but Ginsberg and Kerouac made it worthwhile. A mixed bag.

  14. Sudhir Wadhawan

    An essential collection for anyone interested in American counterculture.

  15. Muskan Saxena

    A fantastic anthology! Charters did a great job curating this collection. A must-read for any lit fan.

    Absolutely loved this collection! Captures the spirit of the Beat Generation perfectly.

  17. Priya Sahani

    Found some new favorites in this collection. A great resource for Beat literature.

  18. Devansh Bansal

    Some pieces were fantastic; others, not so much. Still, an interesting read overall.

  19. Vansh Khanna

    A solid introduction to the Beats. Good selection of works and a helpful introduction.

    A great collection showcasing the Beat Generation’s raw energy! Definitely recommend!

    Good overview, but I wish there were more works by women Beat writers.
