Book Reviews of Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness Modern History from the Sports Desk
Book Review: Notes from the sports desk, football, fear and loathing.
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is typical of Hunter's style, it mixes a lifelong obsession with gridiron, gambling, politics, paranoia, corrupt officals and a sense of dark and vicious humor that is the mark of the original gonzo journalist. This book is a series of articles writen originally for ESPN, it's most frightening entries are around 9/11 when hunter asks 'where were you when the fun stopped' and over the next series of articles predicts the road that America will take to a T. Not in the same class as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or The Great Shark Hunt, then again what is? Rest in Peace DOCTOR.
