I read it and thought it was garbage. Like most "Classic" books, not even read by that many people just assumed. They put a photo of inappropriately aged man with a leer and people's tiny minds do the rest.

The same could be said about "On The Road" or "Catcher In The Rye". More wasted time. Only "Naked Lunch" was half-way decent and still not easily understood. I won't pretend I even understood what was going on.

What flaws did it have? It’s one of the great American novels...one of the great novels about America.
