Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson Book Summary

50th Anniversary Edition • With an introduction by Caity Weaver, acclaimed New York Times journalist

This cult classic of gonzo journalism is the best chronicle of drug-soaked, addle-brained, rollicking good times ever committed to the printed page.  It is also the tale of a long weekend road trip that has gone down in the annals of American pop culture as one of the strangest journeys ever undertaken.

Also a major motion picture directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.

The thinking man's acid trip.. A manic, perverted, suicidal joyride straight into the greasy caricature of Americana that is Las Vegas. Fun for the whole family!

Finally. Finally this comes out on iBooks. This is without a doubt one of my favorite books, if not my favorite. If you haven't yet, read this book!

Brilliant. His writing style is crazy. I started to watch the movie once but passed out. If you haven't seen the movie it's a great book. Not sure how they compare...

Amazing. Amazing

Fear & Loathing in LV - HST. Nothing like a waste of ten bucks….This is true crap from a prevailing want to be drug experimenter in the early 70’s….And you wondered where “fake news” come from….Just sayin

Gods Mercy On You Swine!!. An epic, fun and enthralling tale from begging to end. Full of good laughs, entertainment and experience. A timeless classic!

Top tier writing!. Gonzo style writing speaks for itself. Was truly a delight to read such a profoundly eccentric but delicious book.

What an interesting ride! This dude is off the chain, for real!. Hunter S. Thompson was out of his mind, but what an interesting perspective on things. We digest most of our information from the “normal” perspective and for good reason, but sometimes it is interesting to hear different points of view.

The American Dream. I thought that this was a beautiful and bizarre book. The theme of Gonzo Journalism really got my attention by putting Roaul as the center of his story on the "American Dream". I myself have become interested in drugs, particularily classic psychadellic drugs from the 60's, but the most you can get where Iive is grass and cheap knockoffs that have all sorts of horrible things in them. Nothing pure. This book really opened my mind to reading and I recommend this book be read by anyone who likes journalism or Hunter. I sure loved it.

Saw the movie. Lol

!!!!. About time this came out on iBooks!

A very different but fun read.. One of my favorite books. It does not take you through the normal structure of a story. Instead, it takes you through a time in history, and time stamps it for people of future generations to know and understand the vibe and sentiment of an era.

An Absolutely Fantastic Book From Cover To Cover!. By far one of the best pieces of American literature I’ve ever read hands down!!

Fantastic. This book gives the reader excellent social commentary on the failed love revolution of the late nineteen-sixties, to the back drop of an over zealous drug indulged search for the american dream, in the heart of Las Vegas. This book is reflective, humorous, thought provoking, and completely insane. I recommend this book to anyone willing to ride it out.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. One of the best books I have ever read. I can't believe how amazing this book was.

Funny, sad, profane, and profound. There are few books that are both a snapshot of a moment in time and timeless all at once quite like this one. By the same token there are few where you don’t really know if the narrator is telling you the truth, if it’s hyperbole… or what. All I know is this: I find myself reading the book once a year or so, each time laughing like crazy, struck by HST’s. insight, and sad when it’s over.

Loved it. A great book and classic thompson perfectly copied for reading on my iPhone.

REALLY GOOD BOOK. This is the best book I have ever read in my 18 years of life. The first few words rearrange your imagination and set you up for the rest of the trip. And the movie, ohh the movie, it matches up almost perfectly with Thompson’s writing. It’s amazing.

Loved it.... This was the final book in my high school junior year english lit. course. It was thought provoking, honest, and put me off drugs for life!

Savage and witty. I've been a Thompson fan for a very long time, and read most of his books, but this is my favorite one. The Terry Gilliam movie version is greatly entertaining but this outshines it by at least 100%, and it is mostly because of the commentary and savage wit. The sense of disillusionment, the horror at the disgusting "respectable "people who populate Vegas at that time and the realization the sixties really are over -- it comes through clear as a death-knell. Read it, but only if you have true grit.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Brilliantly witty with poignant social commentary. Entertaining from beginning to end.

Great read. Glad I bought this. Helps if you seen the movie but if not the discription is amazing enough.

HST: FLLV. Captivating and interesting...

Gonzo journalism. A great story told by a great man. Keep inspiring.

Look through the haze. I recently read The Rum Diary and enjoyed it. It was my first exposure to HST and his writing style. I had always heard about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but just never picked up. I don't know why it took me so long. In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Thompson's style and wit are fully developed, rapid, incredibly thoughtful and hilarious! Told through a multi-day binge of drugs, alcohol and numerous other substances (including grapefruits) Thompson's alter ego Raoul Duke and his lawyer Dr. Gonzo set out to chase the allusive "American dream". Many may jump to the conclusion that Fear and Loathing is simply a drugged out ode to excess. While this conclusion is not unfounded, it is more than that. Through the hazy eyes of Duke we see America more clearly. For better or for worse...

Fear & Loathing. Excellent read

What a ride!!!. U feel just as twisted as them on this "trip"!!
