A review by sarahuwu
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson

dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.25

If this is the American dream, I want no part in it. Thompson comes across as totally unhinged in the worst possible way. As a look into the drug culture of the early 70s, it works almost as a cautionary tale of paranoia, violence, and filth. This book is completely bizarre and probably makes more sense to people who lived through the time it was written than it ever will to me.
