I wish Arlo Guthrie narrated this!

I know that's the last thing you would expect in a review for this book, but stay with me for a few moments.

The book is a gem, and I don't think I can say much of anything that hasn't been said hundreds of times before, so this is a non-traditional review for you. Yes it has language that was shocking in the 1950's but let's be real, this book has never deserved censorship. If you think there is too much sex, then you really need to read the book again more car
