Book Reviews of Conversations with Hunter S. Thompson (Literary Conversations)
Book Review: For the hardcore fans
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for the gonzo journalist that the majority of his books contain, you won't find it but this book is one that's even better in my opinion...
While I LOVE his journalism I always wanted to find out what Hunter S. Thompson was as the man...
He always talked about always having a burden on his shoulders, as everyone thought he was the stereotype of an outlaw that lives by his standards and not society's. This resulted in that whenever he made a public speech or met fans in the streets, they expected the 'crazy' Hunter when in reality he wasn't. He wasn't putting on a front, but he exaggerated it because he knew it would give him an advantage, one that could (and did) significantly help his career, especially considering all the competition in the journalist field at the time.
I always wondered how that effects him, how it effects his writing, and most importantly, WHO IS HUNTER S. THOMPSON the man???
If you are curious about anything I just listed, this book is for you.
It will show you who Hunter was underneath the skin and away from the cameras.... just and ordinary person with problems like all of us....
