I'm Fearful After Reading This...
This book's setting is eerily similar to the current state of affairs going on in with the 2008 Presidential Election, with the Democrats picking themselves apart while the Republicans sit back and enjoy the show. Richard Nixon is shown as the abomination that he was and HST's writing is as animated and humorous as I have ever seen it. This book surpassed my expectations and was a surprisingly ...

The previous reviewer is what one may call a "gotard." He feels that fear and loathing is only about drugs. He is simple minded, and can't see what is really occuring in one of the finest American novels of the later half of the 20th century. Fear and loathing in las vegas is about the search for the long lost American Dream. It is story about two men set out to find the American Dream, and they ...

Into the Belly of the Beast
The second installment in HST's selected letters, Fear & Loathing in America has proved to be a fascinating read. Beginning in the 1950's, HST keep carbon copies of all his letters for filing purposes in the belief that one day he would be a famous writer and his correspondence would be published. Like so many other Thompson predictions, this one proved true. The range and scope of the letters ...

Fear & Loathing In Haven
What can I say about this amazing author? The guy is my hero! He writes the kind of pulp fiction in fantasy, mystery and science fiction that I'd give my right arm to effortlessly produce. (Though I'm sure he sweats the details as much as I do, it all looks seamless.) He makes you feel the place, it's like being there. You live and breath his characters. Having been a part of Prince Rupert's ride ...

A Great Script Adaption Of The Book
Twisted, funny (for some), and outrageous. Although the title of the book is a bit confusing, it is an excellent item to purchase for fans of the film and/or book.

Fear and Loathing in World Football
Berg Publishers, 2001
The quickest entry-point into most local cultures anywhere on earth is to be found in talking football. Historically, football is one of the great cultural institutions, and, like education and the mass media, has played a key role in shaping and cementing senses of national identity throughout the world. However, the nature of intra-nation hostility, which may be based in football or which may use the game as an arena for antagonisms, has yet ...
