Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century Audiobook

" In times like these, only The Good Doctor can offer some peace of mind... "

" Seriously can't say anything bad about Hunter S. His writing and narrative style is intriguing and entertaining. His humour really comes through - couldn't put this one down either! "

" Hunter is constantly inspirational, insightful, and just urges confusion and further thought into subjects you would have thought mute. His examinations and musings on the counter-culture of the 70's and 80's are astounding and insightful as ever. "

" fear & loathing in Elko is funnier than a depressed seven year old kid dynamiting himself in a chocolate mine; black acid is taken. What the fuck is black acid? Would i?no wait, should i want to know? "

" Hunter S Thompson was definitely an individual like no other. You will either love or hate him....no grey areas. "

" I have to go back to this book only read half - crazy :D "

" Thompson's last book gives you a look into his childhood, a retelling of his Kentucky years, and shows you how Thompson reflected on his life right at the end. "

" Hilarious and interesting as usual. I'm a big fan! "

" Anything Hunter is involved with is bound to entertain, this is no exception. "

" A collection of his articles. Not my favorite of his, but probably enjoyable for fans. "

" The Master Provacateur finds new spirit late in life. "

" Dispatches from Thompson's meandering mind in his twilight years, Kingdom of Fear lacked the punch of his earlier works, but was nonetheless a rollicking ride from one of literature's great heroes of the 20th century. "

" This book is a combination of articles, stories, and letters. I liked it, but got a bit thrown by the fact that it is not really arranged chronologically (at times Thompson jumps from the 70's to the 90's without any real transition). "

" A another good read from a great lesbian writer. "

" Good. Although I didn't enjoy it to such extent that I would read it twice for example. Strong but bleak compared to Hunter's other work. "

" The is one of my favorite books ever. A must read for any fan of Hunter! "

" What a hoot, well worth reading, enjoyed immensely "

" pure gonzo, for the pure at heart "

" The whine of a dying old man. His self righteous banter was difficult to put up with then every now and again; sheer brilliance. Pretentious and full of shit but he can make some amazing observations about the state of the union. "

" Thus far, an engaging achievement by the Gonzo great. "

" Critics believe that Hunter's best work was behind him the last twenty years of his life, and they might have been right, but this collection of essays, rants, and larger than life stories are top notch. Scaring the living shit out of Jack Nicholson at his house in Colorado is a highlight. "

" The last real hurrah by the Doctor. "

" Thompson is a true american. "

" Hunter at his most honest and most introspective. A perfect capstone to his career. "

" Books just don't better than this... "

" The intricate ways in which our societies are seemingly controlled by a system, be it a leader, media. Standing up and commenting, criticising, is perhaps the most important antidote one can provide. "

" fear and loathing in elko is one of my favorites and i had to go back and read it again...and in the good doctor's honor i will be fear and loathing at the denver democratic convention this week "

" Thompson uses his patented stream of consciousness trope to create amusing stories starting from the then present (early 2000's) and his then current doings and splices them together, in some segments randomly, to events as far back as his childhood in Louisville, Kentucky. "
