"What an amazing insight into a profound figure in the writing world. Absolutely loved this book and got learn of the real Hunter Thompson and not the Roal Duke so many people came to know. His story has inspired me to keep on with my own writing.....a definite must read for all Gonzo fans"

    " Sometimes I don't feel so crazy. Those times often coincide with learning about other people's craziness. Still, it sounds like it was never boring to be Hunter. Now I want to read some of the stuff he's actually written instead of just something written about him. "

    " It is not so much the writing that earned 5 stars, but instead its the story that it tells. "

    " HST was staying at the Watergate the night of the break in...how's that for timing. McKeen did a solid job of telling the tale, warts and all, of the good doctor. My highest praise: I now want to read the letters edited by Brinkley. "

    " Great book - I've always been particularly interested in what Thompson must have been like behind his outrageous media persona. "

    " I think Thompson is an interesting character but I still don't understand some people's obsession with him. This biography is quite thorough and makes a good read. "

    " An overall very good bio. Maybe not as critical/objective as it could be, but it wasn't 100% flattering either. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " It is utterly astonishing to me that one of my literary heroes and one of the most colorful journalistic characters ever could have a biography so freaking boring. Steer clear. I couldn't even finish it. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " A solid comprehensive look at the life of H.S.T. Worth the read if you are a fan of his or have an interest in him. It didn't promote or condone his "philosophy" but rather provided insight to his life. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This is the best book written about Hunter Thompson. For serious fans of the man and his work, this is a must-read. Much better than "Gonzo", which was tainted by a bit of Jann Wenner's personal beefs with Thompson. "
