Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo

Rating:
Summary: Very Nice
Review: This book was a bit of a surprize to me because I thought it would be a bit more crazy. You would think that Oscar would act more like he does in Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. He does not. Acosta is a different man than Thompson portreys him to be. This book should shed light on the true Oscar Acosta and not the "300 pound Somoan" that appeared in Fear and Loathing. If you are interested in the real Oscar Acosta you should read this book.

Summary: One of the best books I have read.
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Brown Buffalo is basically a road story about a Mexican-American looking for his identity in a time before the Civil Rights movement. The narrative focuses on Oscar Acosta and his semi-autobiographical account of his life story. The hero of this novel is what makes it so good. Acosta's detailed storytelling keeps the reader interested throughout.

Summary: Finding Gonzo
Review: To finally learn who the inspriation behind H.S. Thompson's Gonzo attorney was a treat. This book is a must read for anyone who desired the guts to quit their job and hit the road and discover life on the 'other' side of life. Every American should graze where the Buffalo once roamed.
