Kingdom of Fear
Ratings4
Average rating3.8
Hunter S. Thompson's Kingdom of Fear is the wild and outrageous autobiography from the world's most notorious journalist. It's an unrestrained and uncensored account of fast living, hard drinking, sharp writing and unimaginable drug taking; of road trips, girls, guns, bikes and being accused of trying to kill Jack Nicholson. Kingdom of Fear is both personal and political; an explosive life story and a no-holds-barred assassination of contemporary America.

There are some gem stories in here. Overall I got the impression that Thompson's wrote a lot of this while coked out of his mind. He takes a strong stance for individual rights and admonishes authority throughout, to the point where it got a bit boring. It would have been cool to have more anecdotes from the 20th century (or his foreign correspondence days)
