Summary: "It never got weird enough for me" --HST
Review: Perhaps the most interesting, and the most terrible thing about this book is that it fits in the nonfiction section of the bookstores that carry it. When looked at the right way, it is one of the best books of its time that depicts the true color of the decade, and the real feelings that went with it.

Summary: The Anti-Candide. And Still Great.
Review: Drugs are fun. Scary. And all whack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But really, this is a fiction on the level of great and desperate satire. That's why those who celebrate this as just a wild orgy (same with the critics of the movie), I feel, miss the point. The point being instead, the terrible dissolution of the Dream. The dream dying after the JFK, MLK, RFK, murders, not to mention Vietnam, Chicago and the corruption of the sense, to paraphrase a nice scene in the movie, "we were ahead". By the beginning of the 70's, all that once seemed good was horribly wrong, madness and cheap thrills were all that were left. The great part of this book was that Thompson exposed this pain with pitch-black humor and genuine fury. As to the sense that it was an actual account, Thompson himself wrote it was a fiction in the original foreward to the book - which was published in the Great Shark Hunt. His Lost Weekend with Acosta (Dr. Gonzo) was a direct result of a terrible crime story he was working on concerning the murder of a Latino journalist. Acosta couldn't really be seen hanging out with a "gabacho", so they took off to Vegas. And from that came the scorching indictment of what had become of the American Dream.

Summary: This is the hilarious adventure of two guys on a drug trip.
Review: This book tells of two guys in search for the "American Dream." I loved the titles given to the vehicles, and the descriptions of their hallucinations were very detailed and just, well, funny. The amount of drugs consumed in this book would make Kurt Cobain cringe. The middle was hard to follow, but overall it was a great book.

Summary: A total head trip conjured up only by the duke of gonzo.
Review: An amazing head trip into the minds of the duke of gonzo as so many have labeled him. If any book captures the karma of the years that so many of us were not alive to experience, it's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The combination of Thompson's writing and Steadman's drawings create a book of pure energy, pure power, that it craves to be read again and again.

Summary: This Book Was The Bomb
Review: I am 15 years old. I am very interested in Huter S. Thompson books. If you are to, you will enjoy this thrilling book about drugs in an already deranged town such as Las Vegas. I have lived there it is wild.
