    Di Prima’s writing is beautiful and evocative. I felt transported to the Beat era. Some of the language is outdated, but overall, a fantastic read.

    I really enjoyed the book! It was a great read, but I wish there was more.

    A solid read, but not life-changing. I found it interesting, but not particularly memorable. It felt a little long.

    This book is a must read!

    I really liked the book, it was such a page turner! I couldn’t put it down. The story telling was great!

  7. Vijay Laxmi Vashisht

    I was drawn into the bohemian world. Her experiences are fascinating. However, I felt it lacked depth in certain areas. Still a good glimpse into her life.

  8. Rashmi Bharti

    The book was good, but the writing style was hard to keep up with at times.

  9. Aditi

    I had mixed feelings. Some parts were incredibly insightful, while others felt rambling and unnecessary. Worth a read with tempered expectations.

    This book is captivating. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in the Beat Generation. I loved it!

  11. Arpita Tripathi

    Diane di Prima’s memoir is a revelation! I loved the book!

  12. Viraat Singh

    I was expecting more. It was an okay read, but nothing special. I didn’t connect with her story as much as I had hoped.

  13. Suniti Goel

    A groundbreaking memoir! I was fascinated by her life and the Beat scene. A little too much detail in some parts.

  14. Mohammed Sandeed Farooq

    Di Prima’s writing is vivid. Her exploration of female sexuality is groundbreaking. A bit too explicit at times for my taste, but undeniably powerful.

  15. Prachi

    Honest and unflinching. Di Prima doesn’t shy away from the gritty realities. Not always an easy read, but a rewarding one.

  16. Srishti

    A powerful read. The descriptions are very detailed, and I could feel the intensity of the time. I wish there was less details.

  17. Vatsal

    Di Prima’s voice shines. Her courage and independence are inspiring. It can be dense at times, but worth the effort.

  18. Aditya Bhamboo

    The book was okay. I had a hard time connecting with the story at times.

  19. Piyush Kumar Sah

    This book is amazing. This is a must-read for any generation.

  20. Tanishq Gupta

    A raw and honest portrayal of the Beat era. Di Prima’s voice is unique and compelling. Some parts felt a bit disjointed, but overall, a worthwhile read.

  21. Vansh Suri

    A powerful and important book. I loved it! A must-read for any woman.

  22. Abhinandan Agrawal

    A very interesting memoir. I enjoyed learning about the Beat Generation from a female perspective. It did feel a little self-indulgent at times.

  23. Pooja Dipak Ingale

    The book was good. I thought it was a bit too slow in places. It could have been shorter.

  24. Jay Dattatraya Tilekar

    I enjoyed reading about the Beat Generation from a female perspective. However, it did drag in some places. A bit repetitive too.
