Book Reviews of Screwjack: A Short Story

Book Review: A sampler of HSTs writing at its drug fuelled best
Summary: 4 Stars

Screwjack is collection of three very short pieces of Hunter S. Thompsons prose. The first, 'Mescalito,' is a typical description of a HST mescaline powered bender written at his free flowing best. The second and third, 'Death of a Poet' and 'Screwjack' are even shorter writings of HST conversations with companions.

Screwjack is definitely of interest to HST fanatics to complete their collection. Newcomers to the Gonzo style would be more advised to try the good Doctors other books first.
