There are some gem stories in here. Overall I got the impression that Thompson's wrote a lot of this while coked out of his mind. He takes a strong stance for individual rights and admonishes authority throughout, to the point where it got a bit boring. It would have been cool to have more anecdotes from the 20th century (or his foreign correspondence days)
