"Great articles like The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved, Fear and Loathing at the Superbowl and other classics. Must read if you like Thompson's work, or if you're just a freak. Freak Power!!"
"A strange and brutal trip through the late 60's and early 70's in the voice of a man that somehow makes it all of it seem real and immediate... even after 40 years. He wrote it like he lived it... strangely and brutally."
"Simply a "must have" for any Thompson fan. This is the closest thing we have at the moment of a "Collected Works" or a "Portable" Thompson. This book was published in the late 1970's and it covers all his writing up to that point. Most priceless, for me, is the collection of some of Thompson's earlier articles, before he began to make a name for himself. Even though they are written in a more straightforward style, there are still hints and foreshadowing of what was to come.
Also included in the collection: excerpts from the two Fear and Loathing books and probably all of his Rolling Stone articles written to that point."
"Again, I love HST. The book is a collecion of his early articles before he really started inserting himself into them, and you can still see his talent for exploring, understanding and relating the human condition to you the reader. He really is a master of this craft. His rants on politics are the most entertaining, especially since we get to enjoy them in hind sight, and know how everything unfolds as he is writing it and jut guessing at how it all will end. Ohh my. Another book I love."
