A review by stapilus
Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S. Thompson

5.0

An inspiration, just as I was entering journalism school. What kind of an inspiration may be up to debate, and for a while I thought of trying to match his tone . . . but that's unmatchable, and I fortunately and soon enough gave it up. But the energy, humor and crackling sensibility are always worth finding a way to shoot for. And this remains one of the better books about politics I've read.
