About this title: This highly amusing memoir of the 1960s and '70s by gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson chronicles the highs and lows of his life with drugs and includes such surprising episodes as his brief career in the U. S. Air Force and his failed bid to become sheriff of Aspen, Colorado. He also includes his thoughts on more contemporary matters, such as George W. Bush and terrorism.

"Some have described this as Thompson's memoirs. Far from it. It is more a collection of short stories (that actually run in narrative) interrupted by some of his better magazine pieces."
"Nearly a 5. Very funny stories of HST. Very insightful commentary on his political and world views, with just enough of his exaggerated way of telling a story as to entertain first, inform second."
"all over the place for a book described as an autobiography in the blurb. not much mention of the times when he was writing his various books though still not a let down. some very interesting stories told. a worthy read for any HST fan."
"Doing it only like HST can, this book is the clearest, well-planned one I have read to date. It really captures the political agenda of the time, however, it also rallies Thompson's past dilemmas in the 70's. If you like HST, then this is worth it. Plus so many GREAT quotes. Live free like the otter."
