An fine addition to Hunter S. Thompson's story. This oral Bio gives different angles and insights into a complex, troubled and very talented mind. His spirited,quirky, reactionary and sometimes hilariously criminal behavior is on display through the stories told by his innermost circle of friends and a large group of people who came into contact with his charming and lively personality. A true, living art-form in shorts, sunglasses and cigarette holder.

"Gonzo" is probably the best way to get to know Hunter S Thompson, aside from reading his actual writings. Basically everyone who ever knew the Good Doctor contributes to this biography, from childhood friends to A-list actors. The one notable exception is Anita Thompson, Hunter's last wife, which is presumably because she wrote her own book on him. I would highly recommend this book as it thoroughly describes Hunter and his complexities as well as the complex relationships he had with those around him.

i needed this book to know something more about Thompson, something which goes beyond his myth. Though I've read only 50 pages, and the way to finish is long I can only say that first impression is positive, I like the approach of the authors to the genre of biography. andrea
