Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson

Amongst all the HST tat they are selling nowadays this is actually worh a look. You get a collection of photographs, letters and memorabilia that is certainly interesting. Wheter is has staying power I'm not sure. Great if you need to explain who HST is when visitors question your 7ft Fear & Loathing Poster!One word of warning. I have seen several "special" versions of this going for about 200+ They look exactly the same to me so be aware.

A well written story of HST by people who were the close to him through different periods of life. I got to know Hunter through his books - this genius writer who developed his own unique voice. Now I know Hunter as a person.

This guy was interesting, didn't read the book but I plan on reading it

Bought this as a gift for my son, who is really into Thompson. He thought it was the best he had read on the man. Unlike the normal biographers view, this account is made up of anecdotes and memories of his friends and those who worked with him. Those who really knew him.

this is a must! also, apart from the books by H.S.T., there's 'the kitchen readings'. and you won't need anything else!
