Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson


Vintage Books, 1998, 204 pages
Original copyright 1971
ISBN: 0-679-78589-2
"Read": June 2021 

This book had an interesting writing style, but I just couldn't get past that this author/character (they are pretty well blended) is a wholly irresponsible piece of ...work.  There's no point to the story - it's just 'I did a whole lot of drugs - look at me doing lots of drugs - holy crap, am I ever messed up!  I didn't even think the prose was particularly good. 

I read halfway, and then flipped to a few pages near the end to see if anything changed, and then gave up.  This was completely not the book for me.

Rating: 1 (incomplete)
