Book Reviews of Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga
Book Review: BIG BLUFF
Summary: 1 Stars
If you're expecting an introspective study of a complete infiltrate on the Hell's Angels day to day, forget about it, this is basicly the report of two big reunions of the Angels in the early 60's, with some articles of the time. And ONLY till that date, no further. TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTING. Tedious, boring, in fact didn't finished it.Book Review: BORING BORING BORING
Summary: 1 Stars
This book should be banned it is more boring than reading a cookbookBook Review: Bad Craziness in Frisco with Sonny Barger!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hunter S. Thompson's 1960s classic HELL'S ANGELS is begging to be made into a feature film. Full of great characters, vignettes, and warped dialogue--the book snap, crackles, and pops with fiery brilliance. A full technicolor recreation of the brutal ass-whipping HST took from the motorcycle thugs would make for fine entertainment!
A twisted classic that still packs a mean wallop thirty years later.
Book Review: Best book on the subject
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read the other reviews and it seems like everyone is comparing this book to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which is a mistake. They are 2 very different books, but still contain Thompson's wit and style. If you aren't intrested in reading about the more turbulent parts of the 60's, or seeing an inside look at one of the more mysterious and persecuted sect's or our society you are better off not reading this book. Hardly any other journalist could have written this book. Thompson and the Angels both share common intrest's and I'm amazed at how well they get along in the book, and even in the end the parting ,for the most part, is one of mutual respect.Book Review: Biker Gonzo Style
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are interested in HST and/or the outlaw biker movement of the 2nd half of the 20th century than this is for you. A very candid tale is told by Thompson as he submerges himself in the Hell's Angels' society for a year. This is his take ...warts and all.
