Book was good, I think seeing the movie first actually helped make the book better. Also gives you a better appreciation for Johnny depps acting role and it’s no wonder Hunter and him were such great friends. As whimsical at it may seem, it’s like the real life version of Alice in wonderland, chock full of interesting anecdotes and verbiage. There’s definitely some insight and meaning the chaos, almost a purposeful pulse to avoid conformity in society which is to be appreciated. Otherwise, it can be said that there’s a certain talent required to be eloquent in describing debauchery.

The wild, surreal, absurd ride the characters go through, while cynically searching for the American dream in the heart of America, Las Vegas, keeps you hooked. Also, it’s really funny!

One of my favorite books. It does not take you through the normal structure of a story. Instead, it takes you through a time in history, and time stamps it for people of future generations to know and understand the vibe and sentiment of an era.

There are few books that are both a snapshot of a moment in time and timeless all at once quite like this one. By the same token there are few where you don’t really know if the narrator is telling you the truth, if it’s hyperbole… or what. All I know is this: I find myself reading the book once a year or so, each time laughing like crazy, struck by HST’s. insight, and sad when it’s over.

An epic, fun and enthralling tale from begging to end. Full of good laughs, entertainment and experience. A timeless classic!

A great story told by a great man. Keep inspiring.

Hunter S. Thompson was out of his mind, but what an interesting perspective on things. We digest most of our information from the “normal” perspective and for good reason, but sometimes it is interesting to hear different points of view.

Nothing like a waste of ten bucks….This is true crap from a prevailing want to be drug experimenter in the early 70’s….And you wondered where “fake news” come from….Just sayin

Gonzo style writing speaks for itself. Was truly a delight to read such a profoundly eccentric but delicious book.

This is the best book I have ever read in my 18 years of life. The first few words rearrange your imagination and set you up for the rest of the trip. And the movie, ohh the movie, it matches up almost perfectly with Thompson’s writing. It’s amazing.
