Book Reviews of Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson
Book Review: "I slept with all my assistants..."
Summary: 5 Stars
For anybody who's read through H.S.T's entire library, for anybody looking for another part of the story, for anybody looking to add to their accumulated knowledge of Dr Gonzo...this book is for you...It's a great, extremely accessible book.
The only people that should stay away from this title are those that are so uptight & tightly wound, that are so concerned with preserving a myth rather than telling a story, that would rather read (or release or publish or allow) the same monotonous versions of the same rehashed stories time & time & time again...
(...monotonous is probably an exaggeration, especially in HST's case...)
I don't understand all this great decrying of this book based on the fact that HST's wife "disapproved".
Who cares?
There's many stories here from the people that knew Hunter Thompson best, & they each have the right to see & tell things as individually as the man they're busy describing....
When they each & all come out & say they were conned & baited & paid off, I'll change my humble opinion.....
Until then, I'll continue reading & laughing & cursing & waiting for releases of the next couple Hunter books to be allowed...or at the very least, morally approved of....
