adamcarrington 's review for:
The Rum Diary
by Hunter S. Thompson
San Juan's Daily News is decadent and depraved. The story follows a drifting journalist and his colleagues in various states of personal disrepair. Deadpan funny, concisively edited and paced, bearing much resemblence to Thompson's non-fiction - an enjoyable read. Writing under the guise of fiction, there's arguably more room for Thompson to explore themes of depression - and these are sad characters despite the surface absurdities of their circumstances.
