"Hey what," I will...

Tue, 11 Apr 2000 04:53:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author casey_1234 - Let me start by saying I'm not much of a book reader. I've probably only read about five books outside the ones I had to do for school. What made me read F&L was the film. This has to be the greatest film ever made. Johnny Depp is absolutely insane...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spoalanm - I've always wondered if the "Dr." is as crazy as his writing indicates. From stories I've heard about his personal life, I tend to think he is.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Luna5181 - I've got to say that my review of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas will be biased because Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite author (or journalist, but that's really not the right word for what he does). However, he's my favorite author because of this...

Thompson, Hunter S: his title said it best

Sat, 18 Dec 1999 00:33:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daehtop - I won't try and analyze anything by 'Duke'. His style is his own and you will either love him or hate him or both. The famous inventor of 'gonzo journalism', Hunter S. Thompson is by far my favorite author. His book, 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas',...
