Sucked me in, but its got a lot of terminology such as the "SDS" that you would only catch onto if you knew a lot about the sixties.

I am not sure how anyone is going to read this review but if anyone is reading it i just want you to know that this book by Hunter S Thompson is crap. Everyone says it is great and they say the movie is great and he invented Gonzo journalism but after reading the book I think it was crap. I find that this book is just a pretty boring book about a guy who goes on a massive bender for a few days. There is nothing really funny about it and it all seems a little bit juvenile. Maybe i am just too old but Hunter S Thompson was 33 or something when he wrote it. I expected something more than the rantings of a drug fiend. Given all the acclaim that has been given I thought at least maybe the writing would be good, regardless of the content, but it isn't even well written. I mean good work for inventing Gonzo journalism which is very entertaining but i am afraid that it has been improved upon 10 times over. I would say that Australian gonzo writer John Birmingham is much more entertaining and readable than the content of this book. Birmingham uses a similar style but what he writes about is interesting and makes you think - which can't be said for Thompson.

While I am huge fan of immersive journalism, my tastes require a little more reality. I suppose the point of this tale is life in an altered state of reality....but did not hook me. I lived in the 70's. Not sure that the drug culture was worthy of the adoration apparent in this alleged adventure.

Entertaining...followed the movie (ver batim for about the first 50 pages) throughout, which I think is cool for books with a movie, especially when I saw the movie first. But like all book/movies, the book is usually better, the only question HOW MUCH better. Either way, seeing the movie always makes reading the book more enjoyable, or vice versa. Rum Diary remains my favorite H. Thompson book.

Not bad. Better if you've been in the state of mind that the story tells. Made me laugh but felt more could of been added. Bit dark in places its a 2 outta 5 hotdog book
