Book Reviews of Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century
Book Review: Nihil Obstat.
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, this is an interesting book. To be perfectly honest, there is not a great deal here that regular fans of Thompson, having read his books and biographies, will not know, but it still stands up nonetheless. Thompson has led such an insanely decadent life (his continued existence being a miracle of sorts) that he gains kudos simply for, upon occasion, being able to string together a coherent sentence. The man is a living legend, and his life has been such an incredibly interesting and varied (if not downright scary) one that reading about it just blows your mind. Well worth a read, for veteran fans and Thompson virgins alike.
