Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson

3.0

Maybe I'd have liked this book more if I'd grown up fifty years earlier and seen the counterculture movement it tries to critique. I didn't, though, so I'll give this a three star rating. I liked reading about drugs and fast cars and running away from cops, but I'm not sure what I was supposed to take away from this. Was the utter lack of direction in the book supposed to satirize the aimlessness of counterculture? Unsure and uninterested. Five years later, when I think about this book, I'll remember the twisted/melty/sort-of-cool-but-confusing illustration on the cover of the book, and that'll accurately and wholly represent my thoughts on the book as a whole.
