This is my first encounter with Hunter S. Thompson's writings. (Of course having seen the crazy interviews and Fear and Loathing, I had to read something).
This book reminded me of a cross between Hemingway's drinking prose rhythm combined with the manic ideas and crazy characters that Heller introduces in Catch-22.
Will make sure to pick another one o Thompson's up soon.
First I just wanted to say it was very good, but I still have to think about it and the story actually really gripped me so I am going to give it the highest marks here. This is a fascinating quite short story that is very well told.
Absolute worth the read
