This review is from: Fear and Loathing in America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist (Paperback)
I have been strangely influenced by this man since first picking up _Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas_ in my early teens. I grew up sheltered as a farm boy, and HST introduced me in a very tangible way to the dark underbelly of Americana. By the time David Lynch's film came along, I was no longer shocked by the whole rotten, weird world they portrayed. _Hell's Angels_ is a brilliant piece of documentary book writing and sociology as well as incisive commentary about our culture. HST, despite his rampant debauchery and drug use, is one of the clearest political thinkers out there. He was right about Vietnam before anyone listened. He was on to Nixon and his crooked cronies long before anyone cared. I have yearned in these strange and treacherous times for more clear criticism, for some explanation, for some straight-talking about the sick and twisted nest of snakes that's holed-up in Washington now... but, pending that, this book will do nicely.

HST's correspondence shows the near-manic nature of his affair with written words. This collection gives us a picture of how he tosses off notes to friends and enemies alike, bantering, raving, ranting mainly to himself as a part of the process of sorting out his works-in-progress. Reading this has made me mindful of the value of correspondence, and my relation to it. It is revelatory and insightful, fast-paced and fun. I recommend this to any HST fan who wants to learn more about the vague personality we seem to have only so far caught glimpses of through his collected works.

4.0étoiles sur 5 I again can not think of a title, Avril 26 2004
This review is from: Fear and Loathing in America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist (Paperback)
Fear and Loathing in America is mainly for hardcore fans or people who after reading Fear and loathing in Las Vegas wanted to know what Thompson is really like and if all the strange myths and terrible legends they heard about Thompson are true or not, I myself am a big fan of Thompson and I enjoy this book quite a lot, I did not like it at the beginning, for two months is stood their on my bookshelf and one day, I gave it another go and I loved it, I was so surprised at how much I liked it, these days, I pick it up to a random page and read it. Long live Dr. Thompson

4.0étoiles sur 5 Some of the funniest reading ever..., Janv. 5 2004

This review is from: Fear and Loathing in America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist (Paperback)
...'course you'll have to work for it. This is a massive book that in my opinion isn't meant to be plowed through, but rather enjoyed from time to time.

A complition of his letters written over a decade or so (during his rise from a relatively obscure journalist/writer to cult hero) most every letter is interesting in one way or another, some are so funny that you'll be laughing about them for days.

HST's humor is unmatched in my opinion by any writer I've read. This book is an extraordinarily private, very insightful, often hilarious glimpse into one of America's most interesting social figures.

Enjoy...
