This book ignited the legend of Hunter Thompson. He tells it like it is and it's so rereshing, not to mention incredibly interesting to observe America's biggest outlaws of the 1960s. He gets what comes to him at the end, which gave him…

Hunter holds himself back and lets the story tell itself. That's is both good and bad. I am a big fan of his Gonzo-style and must admit I missed it. In "Hell's Angels" his writing style was supplanted by the lifestyle he adopted for a year…
