This is my first encounter with Hunter S. Thompson's writings. (Of course having seen the crazy interviews and Fear and Loathing, I had to read something).

This book reminded me of a cross between Hemingway's drinking prose rhythm combined with the manic ideas and crazy characters that Heller introduces in Catch-22.

Will make sure to pick another one o Thompson's up soon.
