Summary: A Genius and his shouting post
Review: Burroghs was a revolutionary. Burroghs though manages to stray from the standard revolutionary protype. No borrowed ideals or feelings in this book, Burroghs Naked lunch is a result of turning one persons reality into a universal reality. One mans addiction tells the story of mankind. Burroghs Naked Lunch is by no means an autobiographical account, simply what happens when authors ignore the factual and engage in the truth. This book was not written as entertainment, Burroghs makes this clear near the end of the book. Whether readers take an inclination towards this book, time will tell. Naked Lunch is a great piece of literature.

Summary: A Kerouac lover's library MUST HAVE THIS!
Review: I must admit, I only grabbed this book because a character in another book I read was into Burroughs. That, and he was compared to my favorite author and thinker- Jack Kerouac. Even people that don't love the Beat generation will fall in love with Naked Lunch. It is very descriptive and will put some pretty crazy pictures in your head. No, its not for everyone, nor do I think people that aren't interested should read it. But, it is a definate beatnik classic- so fellow open-minded thinkers- READ ON. And if you're worried about its profane nature and illicit foulness, fear not- I read it in ninth grade, and am letting my ninth grader read it now.

Summary: CAST ASIDE YOUR MORALS AND JOURNEY!!!
Review: This book is very obscene and that's why I love it so much! I've read it 6 times already and I enjoy it more every time. This is not for people with a shallow mind or psuedo-openness. Read it and despair for the person you once were!

Summary: great fun, weak plot
Review: I first tried reading this book back in the 60's - got about a third of the way through before throwing in the towel. Picked it up again last year and got exactly as far as the first time. Not that I didn't get anything out of the book or that Burroughs isn't a hoot, it's just that after a few hundred pages, you get the point and don't have to read any more.This is the beauty of the cutup technique. You can read any 150 page block in this book and get the same information as reading any other 150 page block of the book. It's like a hologram of Burroughs' head - you can reconstruct the whole from any fragment. So pick up the book, open it anywhere and start reading. When you get tired, stop, no need to go on, you will not learn any more by reading on.

Summary: ????
Review: This novel is either the most profound revelational epiphany ever put into the form of print, or the biggest piece of garbagey fraud perpetrated on the literary world. I just can figure out which one!

Summary: There is nothing here!
Review: Open mind or closed mind, you can't get blood from a stone. If 232+ pages of incoherant, rambling nonsense is your cup of tea, this is the book for you. If you would like to spend an afternoon confused and bored, this is the book for you. Otherwise, I don't think I'm the first to say THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES.

Summary: This book should cure you of every emotional illness you got
Review: This book is not for those with weak stomachs. It warps in and out of dark unrealistic worlds in which atrocious acts are committed like everyday sin. But what you read will surely touch you in places you never knew were there, groping at your sexuality and dark subconcsious awakening demons and eradicating them at the same time. This book is sick. Above all it will make you feel normal if you do not feel like that already. It brings to you a taste of hell and it guarantees that the taste is not sweet. Read it as soon as you turn eighteen and you are guaranteed to go straight. Go on open it... if you DARE!

Summary: READ THIS BOOK!
Review: This book is absoultly one of my all time favorites. It's an increadable journey through the mind of Burroughs. This book will keep those of us with OPEN minds reading.

Summary: Sold on name alone
Review: This book takes on an interesting point of view, but its sole quality is the descriptive power of the author. This alone will should not create a classic. Naked Lunch is read and applauded simply because of its unconventional approach, and not for its content. It has been considered controversial ever since the first printing, and is still admired solely for that reason. If you needed to read the entire book through to get his simple message, then you probably never got it, anyway. If this book was rewritten, with the same message, but minus the gratuitous sex, it would sell about a dozen copies.

Summary: Una muestra genial de una cosmogamia mental. gracias bill.
Review: Fue un libro que me capturo desde el principio. Una bola de fuego dentro de una burbuja de agua en el cerebro fue lo que sentí cuando o leí. Desde el Dr.Beenway,pasando por las fiestas en el campus de la universidad de interzonas, hasta la extensa y preocupada explicación sobre la acción de ciertas drogas que consumimos etc. etc. Un lado homosexual que se experimenta en un buen viaje, sin repararo de contarlo considero que la generación BEAT fue real en el sentido de que no utilizaron mascaras ni poses LOS MUCHACHOS FUERON REALES y nos dieron una lección.
