No matter what you write, someone will hate it

No matter what you write, someone will hate it. Click here for proof.

I actually laughed out loud at the ones for Mrs. Dalloway and The Sun Also Rises.

Not so much at the review of On The Road.

David S. Wills said...: You have to laugh at these bad reviews sometimes. I like the Henry Miller one... How could you even think to post a review after reading 3-4 pages?!?!?! That's hilarious. Someone once reviewed my book on Amazon without even buying it, so I think I have beaten Mr. Miller there. :)

It's also true when looking for a new computer or even a hotel. Some people will complain about ANYTHING. The woman in Beat Buy even laughed when we read some of them together. There were people who said "this computer was my first one and it's too fast." Then you look at TripAdvisor and have people booking $50 and complaining that there was no Jacuzzi in their room...; July 16, 2012 at 3:47 PM

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
